No. 66 Pools · English Cottage
Freeform Pool with Stone Waterfall
Outside a stone cottage draped in climbing roses, this freeform pool features a rock waterfall, a shallow beach entry, and an English cottage garden filled with blooming foxgloves alongside brick paving.
Design notes
Cottage pools hide in the garden rather than dominate it. Look for a modest rectangle or plunge pool edged with brick or flagstone, borders of roses, lavender and catmint running right up to the coping, an arbour or picket fence for structure, and a bench under a tree. Dark plaster helps the water read as a reflecting pond.
What to look for
- The coping — how the deck meets the water sets the whole tone
- Where the spa sits and how it spills into the pool
- Night lighting: which features glow and which stay dark
