Greenwood House

Secluded garden of ⅓ acre surrounds our contemporary home and backs on to a beautiful ancient woodland. Garden has been transformed over the last 14 years, with mature trees providing a natural backdrop to the many shrubs, Japanese maples and perennials which provide interest and colour throughout the seasons. Access to rear garden across pebble paths and some steps.

About Greenwood House

Best described as a cottage garden, although the planting is quite eclectic.
The front garden is north facing but gets plenty of sun in the summer, so we have added ornamental grasses and other drought tolerant perennials.
The south facing rear garden benefits from some dappled shade provided by the wood and provides a welcome contrast. It also ensures we have a steady supply of visiting slugs and snails! These in turn have encouraged the arrival of frogs. Squirrels regularly appear from the wood and most recently a fox has also become a visitor.
The soil is naturally slightly acidic which ensures that rhododendrons thrive.
