An ambitious remodelling of a Cornish dairy, tucked in a hidden valley
The original site
An old dairy hidden in a Cornish valley is being remodelled into a contemporary home, designed by Wolden architects.
The garden and surrounding land, having being farmed for generations, is being lovingly coaxed back to life - wild flower meadows, a newly-planted orchard and extensive tree planting have seen the return of birds and the hum of insect life.
The final part of the mosaic, the ornamental gardens will be built and planted in autumn 2025. Cornish slate stone hedges frame lawns and terraces, and a wide ha-ha leads your eye across the valley.
An inner courtyard makes up the main entertaning space, with zones carved out with pleached crab apples and soft mounds of rosemary hedging.
Bulbs hearld the arrival of spring, planted en mass across the meadow and along the primrose studded drive.
Long-season perennials, ornamental shrubs, tough Mediterranean evergreens and plenty of aromatic herbs will surround terraces for morning, noon and night with trees chosen to deliver joy and sustenance to wildlife through the seasons.
