About 59 Thistleton Road

A large glass veranda links the house with the vegetable garden, separated from the main garden by a rose garden and pergola. A large, clear watered pond is planted with water lilies and fringed with moisture loving plants. A path, bordered by large, colourful herbaceous borders, leads via an ornamental shrubberry, with ‘Onion Day Bed’, to a wild flower meadow, traversed by a further meandering path. Making one’s way back towards the house one passes through an orchard, home to a number of bee hives, and a small arboretum of ornamental trees. Close to the house steps lead down to a short woodland walk alongside a fishing lake, a shady retreat on a hot summer’s day. Throughout the garden are arbours and sitting areas from where to enjoy the garden and the whole is offset by carefully placed contemporary metal and driftwood sculptures.
