Close to the medieval town of Cranbrook in Kent's High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this former gardener’s cottage has been completely reimagined by architect Richard Gill. The six-bedroom plan spans the original 19th-century house, a striking modern extension and an independent annexe. True to its origins, the home has an immaculate rear garden that teems with colourful, luscious plantings. Connections between inside and out were a driving principle in its design, with a series of living spaces that tumble out onto inviting terraces and a formal parterre courtyard beyond.
