No. 40 Fire & Spa · Tudor
Stone Fire Pit Terrace Facing Tudor Residence
Surrounded by low stone retaining walls, this circular patio features a stone fire pit, brick paving, and wooden chairs for seating before a Tudor house with half-timbered walls, steep gables, and leaded glass.
Design notes
Tudor design answers the house. Look for half-timbered gables and tall chimneys echoed in dark timber pergolas and arbours, herringbone brick and flagstone terraces, low stone walls, and hedges of yew and box that give the garden formal rooms near the house before it loosens into roses, wisteria and lawn. Leaded glass, copper lanterns and a slightly storybook proportion keep the look coherent.
What to look for
- Conversation-distance seating all the way around
- Setback from structures, fences and branches
- A dry, lit path back to the house
