About 81 Coombe Lane

Early Victorian detached house surrounded by hidden walled garden (house itself not open). You’ll encounter substantial mixed borders inspired by time spent at Great Dixter, containing traditional and contemporary planting.

The late spring border will contain an extensive rose collection and swaths of Alliums. The large lawns and numerous seating areas are home to our summer house and a French inspired patio with coppiced lime trees.
Further exploration through a yew hedge will reveal a parterre leading onto a large raised Koi pond surrounded by giant banana plants and tree ferns.
Whole garden can be viewed, access to parterre and Koi pond might be difficult for wheel chair access, as located through a narrow gravel path.
