The brief for this 16th century house surrounded by a medieval moat, fields and woodland in Suffolk was to restore and improve the existing hedges and spaces surrounding the house within the moat. Our masterplan included a midsummer garden and a herb garden, a serpentine walk planted with hornbeam hedges, a large rose garden with wooden pergolas and fountains and a kitchen garden surrounded by an orchard, wildflower meadows and parkland planting.
