This small courtyard garden is a magical enclosed space for entertaining. Bespoke brick and flint walls create privacy and there are lots of interesting details – niches for candles, a recycled stained glass window, an inbuilt insect hotel and special bricks and pebbles scavenged from skips and collected on days out.

Porcelein paving creates a practical patio which is easy to clean. The old lean-to has been converted into a stylish garden room providing shelter from the rain and a relaxing place to sit.

A raised pond and raised beds with planting soften the space.
