Significant structural work was required due to neighbouring land levels sitting approximately three metres higher than the property. Retaining walls were constructed to manage these level changes and create strong visual boundaries between the various zones.

Main Terrace & Feature Wall
Outside the kitchen, a large porcelain entertaining terrace forms the central outdoor living space. A three-metre retaining wall was built and clad with large-format porcelain slabs to match the paving.
The wall incorporates a combination of black mirror quartz cladding and horizontal composite battens, creating a striking architectural feature. Artificial living wall panels soften the structure, while integrated LED lighting highlights the geometry of the design.
Vertical battens extend seamlessly from the wall through a raised planting bed and into the terrace surface, creating a continuous design line across the space. Stainless steel water blades set into the wall introduce movement and sound, transforming the terrace into a visually dynamic environment. A bespoke outdoor kitchen with a granite-topped island anchors the dining area, while a custom porcelain-clad fireplace defines the lounge space.

Relaxation Lawn & Sports Bar
Beyond the terrace lies a relaxation lawn designed for sunbathing and quiet enjoyment. From here, porcelain-clad steps lead down to the garden room known as “The Lane”. The sports bar is a generous garden room featuring a five-metre Cortizo aluminium bifold door opening onto the terrace. Western Red Cedar cladding wraps the exterior, while extended soffits house outdoor speakers and architectural lighting. A covered viewing area overlooks the children’s football pitch below, secured with a stainless steel balustrade. Inside the bar, bespoke joinery and layered lighting create a sophisticated entertainment space.

The interior includes:
– Bespoke upholstered seating
– Custom-built bar with L-shaped island
– 75-inch TV viewing area and additional screens
– Pool table and recessed cue storage
– Integrated Sonos sound system
– Black panelled wall finishes and architectural ceiling design

The bar and garden lighting systems are integrated into a smart control system, allowing the entire environment to be adjusted from a device or within the bar itself.

Children’s Play Zone
Below the sports bar sits a dedicated children’s football and play area surfaced with premium artificial turf for year-round use. Porcelain-clad retaining walls define the space, while surrounding planting beds soften the structure and provide seasonal interest.

Driveway & Entrance
The property entrance was redesigned to provide a stronger sense of arrival. A new resin-bound aggregate driveway is framed with granite sett detailing and supported by stone-clad retaining walls. The front boundary features cleft chestnut post-and-rail fencing with cherry laurel hedging for privacy. Brick entrance pillars with carved stone number plaques and decorative pier caps complete the entrance.
