About Bracondale Gardens
1 Woodside Cottages is a small white painted Victorian cottage and its garden is packed with colourful cottage garden plants which grow side by side with fruit and vegetables. A pond fits neatly into the design and supports many frogs each spring.
14 Conesford Drive Cottage garden style borders with plants specifically chosen for dry shade (under silver birch trees) and dry sun on the steeply sloping banks. Terraced vegetable borders constructed from sleepers. Drifts of plants to create interest and contrast.
Southgate House The former Harbour Master’s house, the garden extends to about an acre, half of which is formed on a steep escarpment. Little of the original garden layout existed by 2018. However, we uncovered some historic maps and plans and have recreated the garden and Harbour Master’s walks down the hillside. The garden now comprises a combination of garden rooms and styles and woodland hillside walks.
