A secluded country garden set deep within the Kent Downs AONB that unites the cottage to a series of vernacular outbuildings in swathes of naturalistic plantings. The plants are chosen to attract pollinators and a new wildlife pond further increases the habitat potential as well as offering up tantalising reflections of the house and barn. The terrace immediately outside the house is designed to accommodate a collection of citrus fruits which are overwintered in the greenhouse and brought out each summer for all to enjoy.
