The Classical Garden is conceived as an elegant extension of the house, reinforcing its architectural language within the landscape. A sweeping tree-lined driveway heightens the sense of arrival, culminating in a striking Water Wall by sculptor David Harber, positioned as a focal point opposite the entrance. Classical detailing, including a columned pergola and recessed arched showers, brings a refined cohesion between house and garden.
The sloping site is carefully shaped to create a sequence of connected outdoor rooms, linked by steps and gently winding pathways. These spaces include expansive lawns, a 30-metre swimming pool, jacuzzi, fire pit, and a guesthouse with its own private pool. Multiple seating areas, including a covered gazebo, offer spaces for relaxation and entertaining. Planting draws on classical English and Mediterranean influences, with clipped topiary and generous herbaceous borders adding structure and seasonal colour.
