Hidden away along the twisting, wooded lanes of north Hampshire lies Malverleys, one of the finest private gardens in the country. The Italianate Victorian house certainly lives up to its romantic-sounding name, and it is surrounded by glorious gardens, which owners Georg and Emily von Opel have spent the last decade or so redesigning and improving, along with head gardener, Mat Reese. Having trained at some of the best gardens around the country, including Wisley, Kew and Great Dixter, Mat’s talented vision has enabled the gardens at Malverleys to be sympathetically reimagined as a series of interlinked rooms, each with a separate theme and distinct personality.
The 10 acres of formal gardens have been described as a modern English flower garden for all seasons.
