About Bramstead House

This peaceful garden is designed to be low maintenance yet offers constant interest through the year, making the most of the hilly landscape and view. It’s a place to wander and sit, listen to the sound of running water and relax. Having undergone recent renovations to the house and driveway some of the lawns have been recently re-seeded and new planting is ongoing.
