"This Grade II listed property and surrounding network of waterways and waterfalls provide an intrinsic sense of peace around this beautifully restored walled garden not far from the Roman Fosse Way that slices through the Cotswolds. Lavenders and Alliums are in abundance along the many walkways. The garden is reminiscent of Provence with the use of crushed local Cotswold stone on the pathways. The garden spills out from the walled garden to shaded areas in summer that are filled with ferns and woodland planting. The waterfalls provide a shift in the dynamic and take the garden from serene to the intense woodland. Weeping willow hold firm in the banks and vistas have been opened up to view the house from many areas of the garden. Hall marks of Todd Longstaffe-Gowan’s designs such as Achillea ‘Credo’ and Echinacea ‘pallida’ provide a chalky, ice-cream pallet as Spring turns to Summer."
