Spa Cottage

Nestled next to farmland in rural Essex, the main garden is split into three areas, a haven for wildflowers around a small orchard of apple and plum trees, a central extensive lawn and well-stocked beds softly planted with a cottage feel, also a vegetable garden amongst dahlia beds. Our rear garden to the cottage has well-stocked beds with lawn and beautiful patio of York stone porcelain slabs.
