About 41 Southbrook Road

This large South East London garden has been lovingly developed over 15 years into a corner of Eden!. Thanks to the skills of both of this husband and wife team. It has a formal layout, wide mixed herbaceous borders packed full of colour and interest. The garden is surrounded by mature trees, framing sunny lawns, a central box parterre and an Indian pergola. The ancient pear trees, survivors of the orchards which once surrounded the Manor House, are festooned in June with clouds of white ‘Felicite Perpetue’ and ‘Rambling Rector’ roses. Rosa ‘Constance Spry’ climbs up the back of the house. You can spot fishes and damsel flies in the two lily ponds framed by cypress trees and and discover many delightful places to sit, including a small classical garden building, the perfect spot to relax and enjoy home-made tea and cakes. An orangery and and a delightful rock garden were recently added!
