Unexpectedly rural Manor house half way between the centres of Bath and Bristol, a Monastic foundation with 13th century Church and Tithe barn and ponds at the end of a tiny lane among fields. Julian and Isabel Bannerman, award winning garden designers to the Prince of Wales, have created over fifteen years a deeply romantic, highly scented garden, part formal with luscious borders of old roses, tree peonies, lilies, and fountains – including the amazing ‘Dancing Crown’ – plus woodland with stream, cascades, pools, temples, tree ferns, magnolias, snowdrops plus parkland, orchards, wild flowers, vegetable/cutting garden

Julian and Isabel Bannerman have worked together designing and making gardens and buildings since 1983. As well as trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants their gardens contain swimming pools, lakes, fountains, rills, cascades, follies, ruins, summer houses, romantic ruins, temples and rustic artifices and sculpture. They recently won a competition to design the British Memorial Garden to 9/11 in New York with a contemporary garden design and are past winners of an RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medal, and also a Civic Trust Award and a Europa Nostra Award for buildings they have designed.
