About Kelvedon Hall

Tucked away up a long gravel drive you discover this varied 6 acre garden surrounding a beautiful listed C18th Farmhouse with outbuildings and views over open countryside.

The garden provides a blend of formal and informal rooms and spaces interspersed with modern sculpture. Pleached hornbeam and yew hedging and the box topiary provide the permanent structure. A traditional Courtyard Walled Garden with privet lollipop trees and roses juxtaposes the modern Mediterannean Walled Pool Garden with grasses, both carefully designed to provide season long displays. Herbaceous borders offset an abundance of roses around the house while two lily covered ponds with a small island are the focal point of the less formal part of the garden. There is a wet garden packed with marginals, black bamboo and hostas and a charming small vegetable garden with a picking garden and a pleached avenue of fruit trees.
