Description of Garden:
17th century Jacobean house of architectural interest with 6 acres of formal/informal landscape overlooking a peaceful Cotswold valley. The garden is an amalgam of a 1930's Arts & Crafts garden laid out by the Cotswold
architect, Norman Jewson, and contemporary areas added in the last 10 years.

These areas are inspired by science and include Fibonacci's Walk; Cosmic Evolution Garden; Chiral Terrace and unusual gates and seats all designed by the owner- a landscape architect.
