About Redenham Park House
Redenham Park, built in 1784, has been the home since 1976 of Olivia Clark. The world is kept at bay by a belt of ancient woodland and beyond lies a bowl of sheep strewn parkland with the house at its centre, she consulted Rupert Golby last year on the redesign of two large beds on the way into the Rose Garden. The garden in high summer is an abundance of roses and perennials. The formal rose garden is planted with mainly white-flowered roses and a foam of Alchemilla and Echinacea in the paving. An arch, covered by Paul’s Himalayan Musk, leads through to the main borders which peak in late summer. After a calm green interlude, with an avenue of pleached limes and a croquet lawn with a tapestry hedge, a gate opens into a garden with espaliered pears and apples and a mass of scented roses, shrubs and perennial planting which surrounds the swimming pool. A door in the thatched cobb wall opens onto an immaculate kitchen garden with impressive glasshouses.
