David Stevens, Chelsea award winning garden designer, described Hillbark as 'a large and beautifully terraced garden that drops gently through a series of impeccably detailed and planted rooms, from the formality around the house to a serene lake at the bottom of the slope. The design takes you on a voyage of ever-changing vistas that unfold as you move around the garden, a genuine work of horticultural art.'
