Sweeping curved rock walls divide this relaxing, mature country garden into ‘rooms’ where lovely old trees embrace lawns, frame valley views and provide shade and rich autumn colour. A cypress woodland opens to a dam with abundant bird life and water lilies and is crowned by a curving forty-metre rose arbour. The house is surrounded by wide cottage-style beds, mature shrubs, raised parterre-style veggie beds and large plantings of unusual perennials. Combine it with a visit to the nearby Lavender Hill open garden as well as the scenic London Bridge Arch.
