Country Retreat

A calm, contemporary garden shaped by its coastal setting. Stone terraces, resilient planting and flowing borders create a series of sheltered, connected spaces that feel rooted in the landscape and open to the sea air.
Set within an exposed coastal landscape, this garden brings together structure, texture and movement. At the front, dry-stone terraces define a calm arrival space, where scented herbs and resilient coastal plants soften the architecture and provide year-round interest.
Beyond, the garden opens out to sweeping lawns enclosed by generous, naturalistic borders — a blend of grasses, perennials and shrubs chosen for their ability to thrive in wind and salt laden air. Through the seasons, the planting shifts in tone and texture, bringing gentle waves of colour that connect the garden to its wider landscape and the rhythms of the coast. A timber pergola and relaxed seating area offer a sheltered place to pause, surrounded by the movement and fragrance of the garden.
