A fresh contemporary/formal frontage sets of this beautiful period Victorian double fronted house. A large open electric gated entrance and driveway gives ample parking for two vehicles. Gravel is a great material for driveways as it provides a neutrality, functionality and flexible presence without being heavy and overstated.

The dwarf retaining raised bed walls supporting the clean contemporary lines, raising the beds giving stature and presence.

It’s always best to have a separate pedestrian entrance if you have the space as it gives optional function and adds another layer to the garden.

This beautiful, gently terraced basalt pathway, providing access points from both pathway and pathway landing as requirements necessitate. The bullnosed step tread edging  supporting the formal flavours. We also installed a lighting system for security and atmosphere programmed to come on in evening, sensor and timer based while entering driveway. Nothing worse than stumbling around in the dark. Proportion, functionality and balance are key to this space.
