Faced with an overgrown area of the garden that was unused and unloved, these homeowners set to work transforming the space with a stylish new summerhouse and an outdoor seating area where they could sit and take in the view.

‘When we moved into the house the garden was incredibly bland,’ says the homeowner. ‘We had these large vegetable beds that were completely overgrown and when we didn’t keep on top of them the weeds would get out of control. It didn’t take us long to decide that we wanted to get rid of them – but rather than just laying new beds or lawn, we thought we’d install a summerhouse instead.’
