A Scotney Greenhouse for a 14th Century hall

The National Trust Scotney Greenhouse was the ideal size for the tasks that our clients were planning to undertake in their new space. We designed cold frames along the west gable end, side vents on the south side and roof vents on the north side and ensured the positioning of this kitchen garden was optimised for the perfect growing conditions. Traditional side benching was included along the left and back edge and an internal reservoir with pump installed.

The client wanted some blue brickwork to be visible in a line under the sill of the greenhouse. Our building works department, along with the design office, were able to include this in the final design.

The rest of the garden was designed by Taylor Tripp Garden Designers; who understood the client’s needs for an aesthetically pleasing space, by adding raised beds, espalier fruit, and an ornamental fruit cage. The whole family can get involved with growing, and the customers are delighted with the new greenhouse and garden.
