I love the simplicity of the garden-side of Ham House far more than the fussy front so here are three more pictures to try and explain why.
The house speaks for itself. The symmetry, scale and clean lines are just perfect.
At the back of the garden lies the Wilderness, a simple maze that skilfully hides smaller gardens and a few Summer houses. It is a garden for walking round and round, unless you are a small child in which case it is a place for running and hiding.
At the side of the house is the former Cherry Garden with its geometric beauty and contrasting colours. The peep-holes in the hedge at the far end are a quirky treat.
