Country Garden in Chalfont St Giles
Renovating and transforming a country garden fit for a beautiful home with oodles of character
When these clients bought their lovely old Stables, it had already been converted into a residential property but had been rented out for years, so no consideration had really been given to the garden.
Once renovations inside were underway, thoughts moved to the garden, and after deciding on introducing a garden room to double as a gym and a golf simulation space, they approached Chiltern Garden Design to work our magic on the rest.
The style is ‘Modern Country’ which uses traditional materials in new ways, and feels fresh and new with a nod to the history of the property.
The main garden, unusually, is to the front of the property, with spaces to dine, lounge, entertain and cook. A large lawn takes centre stage, making the space feel biggger than before, as the bank has been reclaimed and terraced. The planting is full of warm colours (reds, oranges, yellows and purples) all softened with the textural exuberance of ornamental grasses.
The rear garden is more private and intimate, with built in seating, a pure white and green colour scheme, and lots of scent.
