Our Landscape Design studio has created proposals for the grounds of a Grade II-listed manor house in the Cotswolds. The landscape design blends the grandeur and symmetry of the historic house with the clean lines of a contemporary garden.
The stunning new designs take their lead from the house’s symmetry, using clean lines, materials in keeping with the area and considered detailing to bring old and new together. The manor has also been given a more memorable sense of arrival – introducing a grand, statement driveway.
The design creates distinct places to gather and unwind: an outdoor kitchen and dining area, a fire pit, and a swimming pool with an orangerie-style poolhouse. The poolhouse’s traditional form is intended to complement the manor rather than compete with it.
An outdoor spa has been carefully introduced to ensure it feels private within the garden. It now sits tucked around a corner, offering a more tranquil setting away from the main terrace and entertaining areas.
The rear terrace will be redesigned as a place to sit and enjoy the garden, with new seating arranged around a reflecting pond. Its formal character takes a cue from the manor’s symmetry, while the restrained design gives the terrace a contemporary feel.
The designs will restore a sense of occasion to the manor’s grounds while making them welcoming and practical for modern living.
