2 THE ALAN TITCHMARSH COLUMN 

3 

He’s a magnificent broadcaster, gifted gardener, 

brilliant author and all-round horticultural visionary. 

This month, Alan Titchmarsh talks about how to 

make your garden a social hub. 

The great British garden – a haven of tranquillity, a 

sanctuary where we can revel in the joy of nature and, let’s 

be honest, a place where we occasionally seek refuge from 

the prying eyes of our neighbours. 

GREENFINGERS… 

the Alan Titchmarsh 

column 

However, what if you’re looking for something a bit quicker and less towering? Enter 

stage left – shrubs and bushes. Like the ever-so-dense yew or the vibrant forsythia, 

a bush, can be your ally in creating a natural barrier. They’re like the friendly 

neighbourhood watch of your garden, keeping an eye out for intruders (of the twolegged 

variety) while offering a habitat for our feathered friends. 

If you’re after something that adds both privacy and panache, why not consider a trellis 

adorned with climbers? Think of the fragrant jasmine or the classic climbing rose. These 

beauties will climb their way up, creating a living wall that not only smells divine but 

also adds a touch of elegance. 

For those who fancy a bit of the Mediterranean in their backyard, why not opt for an 

array of potted plants? Tall grasses swaying in the breeze, perhaps or a collection of 

lavenders and rosemary, offering both a visual shield and a sensory delight. Plus, being 

portable, you can rearrange your green barricade as you please. 

Let’s not forget the role of water features. The gentle trickle of a water fountain or the 

serene flow of a small garden stream can mask the sounds of neighbourly chatter, 

allowing you to bask in your own peaceful symphony. 

Now, onto the pièce de résistance – garden structures. A tastefully placed pergola, decked 

out with climbing plants, can be your secluded nook for those lazy afternoons with a 

book. Or perhaps a charming summerhouse, nestled in a corner, where you can sip tea 

and pretend you’re in a Jane Austen novel. 

Of course, the key to all this is balance. We’re not building fortresses here; we’re crafting 

a serene escape. It’s about blending functionality with beauty, creating a space where 

privacy and aesthetics walk hand in hand. 

And while we’re on this garden escapade, don’t ignore the importance of being a good 

neighbour ourselves. After all, a friendly wave over a row of lavender is much more 

pleasant than a frosty stare over a towering fence. 

In the end, our gardens are our retreats, our little patches of Earth where we can express 

ourselves and find peace. With a dash of creativity and a sprinkling of greenery, we can 

create a space that shelters us from the outside world, while still embracing the beauty 

around us. 

So, there you have it, my fellow, green-fingered friends – there are a few ideas to turn 

your garden into a secluded paradise, a place where the only eyes upon you are those of 

nature and wildlife. 

Not that we don’t appreciate their friendly over-thefence 

chats about the weather or their cat’s latest antics, 

but sometimes a little privacy is just what the gardener 

ordered. Now, let’s embark on a creative journey through 

the art of subtly shielding ourselves from the next-door 

audience, without sacrificing the charm of our beloved 

gardens. 

Firstly, trees are the gentle giants of privacy. A strategically 

placed tree can be a delightful screen that not only 

provides seclusion but also adds to the aesthetic appeal 

of your garden. Think of Crabapple trees with their 

blossoms, or perhaps a majestic Hornbeam, native to the 

south of the UK, but widely planted elsewhere – nature’s 

very own privacy curtain.

Unlocking the Charm: Mastering the 

Decor of North-Facing Rooms 

North-facing rooms often unfairly earn a reputation for being dim and gloomy, 

but let’s debunk that myth. The lack of natural light doesn’t condemn your 

space to coldness; instead, it’s an opportunity for creative 

exploration. Whether you’re drawn to darker shades or opting for 

a palette of warm tones, there’s a world of possibilities waiting 

to transform your north-facing room.. 

Colour Selection for North-Facing Rooms: 

Choosing colours wisely is the secret to conquering 

the interior of a north-facing room. Since northern 

light tends to cast cool hues, your paint selection 

becomes vital. A grey paint in a north-facing room 

might take on subtle purple or blue undertones 

whereas in south-facing rooms the warmer tones 

come through. It’s all about understanding the 

effect of light. 

For the best results, consider embracing the room’s 

natural darkness. Balancing the natural cool tones 

with warm, inviting colours can create a soothing 

atmosphere. Alternatively, dare to go bold with deep 

tones, such as those found in Farrow and Ball’s 

exquisite palette, to accentuate the room’s charm. 

Strategic Lighting: 

In the absence of abundant natural light, thoughtful lighting 

becomes a game-changer. From ceiling fixtures to wall lights and carefully placed 

lamps, it’s essential to curate a multi-layered lighting scheme. Steer clear of harsh 

overhead spotlights, as they can create a sterile ambience that’s particularly 

unwelcome in a room longing for light. 

Artful Accessories: 

Mirrors can play a crucial role in maximising the available 

light. Placing mirrors strategically where natural light 

falls can bounce it around the room to great effect. 

Opt for glass or brass accessories to achieve a similar 

effect. If gloss paint is your preference, consider 

painting certain features with a glossy finish 

to enhance light reflection and add a touch of 

sophistication. 

In conclusion, decorating a north-facing room is 

not about compensating for the lack of light but 

harnessing its unique qualities. Experimenting 

with colours, embracing strategic lighting, and 

placing accessories cleverly can turn your space 

into a warm, inviting haven. Illuminate your home 

intelligently, and let your north-facing room shine in its 

own distinct way. 

If you’re eager to bring out the best in your space, contact 

us today. Let’s collaborate to illuminate your home intelligently 

and let your north-facing room flourish. 

Architectural expertise, on your doorstep 

With practices in Monmouth, the Forest of 

Dean and Cheltenham, the design team 

at Apex Architecture Ltd are your local 

architectural practice bringing a wealth of 

design and innovation to your next project. 

Led by Richard Jones, Charlie Vine and Jon 

White, the practice has built a reputation 

for design excellence backed by technical 

knowledge. A long history of design-led 

projects successfully constructed on time 

and on budget demonstrates we have the 

experience required to safely deliver your next 

project. The design team consists of various 

Chartered professionals including Architects, 

Surveyors and Architectural Technologists. 

The combination of skills and experience 

throughout our team leads to a broad range 

of design styles coupled with the ability to be 

flexible to the most challenging of projects. 

With regards to design and architectural styles, 

we have decades of experience in traditional, 

heritage and contemporary design. We will 

discuss your thoughts and requirements or if 

you are unsure what may work best, we will 

provide options for consideration. We 

believe in an integrated approach 

to design where you are very 

much a part of the process 

and informed throughout. 

There are three main elements to most 

building projects: 

• Design & Planning 

• Detailed design - Building Regulations 

• Construction 

We can assist with every stage of the process, 

from obtaining planning permission and Listed 

Building Consent to Building Regulations 

approval. This is all managed by our in-house 

design team so you don’t have to. We will 

coordinate with additional consultants where 

required and manage the planning application 

process. If required, we can also take the 

project out to competitive tender to 

main contractors on your behalf 

and provide project management 

(Contract Administration) including 

regular site inspections and advice on payments 

throughout the construction phase ensuring the 

final sum is clear throughout the project. 

It all starts with a free consultation where we 

will meet and listen to your requirements and 

expectations. We will discuss many aspects of 

the project to gain a full understanding of how 

we can ensure the design work is fully tailored 

to meet your requirements. To discuss your 

project, call your local office to speak with one 

of the design team to see how we can help. 

Want to create that ‘wow’ factor but are not sure where to start? 

Or just don’t have the time? 

We transform spaces into stunning environments for our clients.

WHO SAYS BUSINESS 

& PLEASURE DON’T MIX? 

Investing in a luxury holiday lodge at Maesmawr Farm Resort could be more 

profitable than you think with domestic tourism and UK staycations set to boom 

Have you found a new appreciation for the 

natural beauty found closer to home over 

lockdown? 

You’re not the only one – new research has found 

that 83% of tourists would prefer to holiday in the 

UK than travel abroad this year, and this trend 

is set to continue into next year, bringing a huge 

boost to Britain’s hospitality and holiday sector. 

With holidaymakers turning to socially distanced 

trips that are locally accessible during this volatile 

time, now is the time to take advantage of the UK 

holiday market which generates over £9.3 billion 

every year in revenue – camping, glamping and 

lodge holidays have become a great option for 

people wishing to escape everyday life whilst 

minimising the risk of Covid-19. 

Enter Maesmawr Farm Resort. An idyllic hidden 

gem set deep within the heart of the Welsh hills, 

Maesmawr Farm offers a slice of escapism from 

the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist spots; 

this resort is the perfect place to restore and 

rejuvenate your senses, being nestled within 27 

acres of stunning landscaped grounds, boasting 

uninterrupted, panoramic views of the rolling hills 

and countryside of the mystical Severn Valley. 

Maesmawr Farm is part of the Boutique Resorts 

collection, founded by Mark Whitehouse in late 

2014 with the aim of creating a collection of 

boutique luxury resorts that appeal to those who 

seek peace and relaxation from their holiday 

time. Having worked in the industry since the 

1980’s and having owned several Parks in that 

time, Mark has accumulated over thirty years 

of valuable experience and insight into the 

holiday industry. 

This industry knowledge shines through 

everything the Whitehouse family does, as Mark 

has explained in a recent interview: “Our quest for 

delivering a high quality experience to our owners 

and guests is built on customer service beyond 

that of our competitors, with one simple value 

kept in mind: to treat people as we would wish to 

be treated ourselves. This is paying exponential 

dividends, as our levels of repeat visitors grows 

year on year and our lodge owners continue 

recommending us to others. 

We’ve seen a strong rise in demand for luxury 

lodge ownership and holidays in recent years, 

and industry experts are predicting the demand to 

continue to rise to a sustained level around 40% 

higher than it was previously, due to the current 

situation introducing new customers to our 

marketplace. 

It certainly seems that UK domestic tourism is 

gearing up for a sustained period of long term 

growth, which is presenting strong opportunities 

for anyone wishing to enjoy a second home in a 

secure environment that effectively pays them to 

own it.” 

With this focus on exceptional quality, Maesmawr 

Farm Resort offers stunning 2- and 3-bedroom 

holiday lodges for sale and holiday rental, and 

all of the holiday homes have been created in a 

collaborative effort between some of the best 

designers in the business. With outside spaces just 

waiting to be explored and discovered, each lodge 

available offers luxury furnishings, quirky interior 

designs and large private decks that overlook the 

beautiful countryside views. 

Not to be confused with conventional Holiday 

Parks, Maesmawr Farm offers long-term property 

ownership that can be enjoyed for generations, 

just like a cottage would be but with the additional 

benefits, security and support of being on a wellmanaged, 

private leisure development – and the 

on-site team can assist with all manner of things 

to make visits even more enjoyable for owners 

and guests alike with a Concierge-style service. 

Offering an incredible investment opportunity, the 

lodges here benefit from a fully managed letting 

package that covers all aspects of what is required 

end to end – from marketing to maintenance.

Sharon Chilcott discovers how an enchanting traditional cottage has been given a 

high-end makeover. 

produced by Jacquie Gordon, a Chelsea gold medal winner. 

Our joint vision was to try to incorporate the gardens into 

the fabulous views, to create flow and to create a garden 

with year round interest, which could be easily maintained. 

Hundreds of plants were used, mainly perennials with some 

feature trees. The planting was also designed to ensure 

privacy.” 

Peter and Helen are now spoilt for choice when it comes to 

deciding where best to sit and enjoy their surroundings. “The 

patio at the bottom of the garden is fantastic for late views of 

the hills and sunsets; the main patio, where we have a large 

sail sunshade, is perfect for everyday living and the front 

garden is best for shade in the afternoons.” 

The Malt House is approached from the road though a pair 

of high wooden gates set in the stone boundary walls. These 

open to a neatly edged, gravelled driveway, bordered by 

level lawns, with colourful beds and interspaced trees and 

shrubs. The oak studded front door opens from a paved front 

terrace to a porch with a flagstone floor. From here, there is a 

door straight in to the sitting room, which has a natural wood 

floor, exposed ceiling beams and a woodburning stove set 

on a flagstone hearth with an oak mantel over. “It’s a lovely, 

cosy retreat for reading and conversation.” 

Next door is the snug, which Peter and Helen use as a 

study and TV room. This also has natural wood flooring and 

features a recessed, enclosed LPG gas fire with a polished 

slate hearth. The room is fitted with stylish built-in bookcases 

with low level cupboards, painted in an attractive shade of 

Farrow & Ball paint. Helen chose bright patterned fabric from 

John Lewis to make the curtains. 

Leading off the back of the sitting room is the marvellous 

open plan kitchen/dining area, which also incorporates 

the garden room. “Our vision was to create an open 

plan, welcoming space for large family gatherings such 

as Christmas and birthday parties and yet to be intimate 

enough for us to enjoy as a couple.” 

The light-filled space includes a characterful dining area with 

exposed ceiling timbers, a contemporary-styled kitchen with 

a vaulted ceiling and a garden room, with fully retractable 

folding glazed doors along two sides opening out to a 

terrace and the rear garden. 

The L-shaped kitchen is fitted with German-made Alno 

units under Silestone worktops and includes Miele builtin 

appliances, an American fridge/freezer and a Quooker 

“We were setting out to create a high quality, non-fussy, durable, welcoming, 

happy house.” 

boiling water tap. There is a central breakfast bar island 

with a granite worktop, inset with an induction hob with an 

automated Bluetooth connection to the extraction hood 

over. Off the kitchen is an ever-useful utility room. 

The well-planned space works really well. “The kitchen is 

great to cook in whilst in company and the layout means 

we can move seamlessly from house to garden. The garden 

room is our favourite room. It is warm all year, with triple 

glazing and underfloor heating. It has fantastic views over 

farm land to the Welsh Hills. The fully opening bi-fold doors 

make the room part of the garden and ideal for entertaining. 

Sitting there, we enjoy almost constant bird song and love 

watching the antics of the garden birds who are drawn to the 

water features we have in the garden.” 

For the flooring throughout the open plan area, the couple 

sourced natural stone tiles from Mandarin Stone and their 

approach to decorating and furnishing was much the same 

as for the rest of the house. “We were setting out to create a 

high quality, non-fussy, durable, welcoming, happy house.” 

The couple chose the ceiling light and wall lights for the 

garden room from Liberty’s London and had the curtains 

made locally by Calico Interiors, Coleford. 

Downstairs, with three small feature windows overlooking 

the front of the house, there is a further room, designed both 

as a gym and as a spare bedroom. It has an air conditioning 

unit, making it cool for the gym and warm when used as a 

bedroom. Next door is a well-fitted cloakroom. 

On the first floor, the lovely principal bedroom enjoys 

fabulous views from its dormer window. Each side of the 

bed is a dressing room, with hanging spaces and wardrobes. 

The stunning wallpaper for the feature wall above the bed 

was chosen with help from Cardiff-based interior design 

consultancy Deborah Drew Designs. Next door is a spacious 

family bathroom, which Peter and Helen use as their own, 

with a large recessed shower as well as a Bette spa bath. 

The other side of the landing are two double bedrooms 

and a luxurious shower room. One of the bedrooms, which 

features a mezzanine, has been put to various different uses. 

“We have used it as a craft room and study and it’s a favourite 

haunt of our six grandchildren who love to sleep on the 

mezzanine area. When they were younger this room was very 

much their ‘den’.” 

At the back of the cottage, the beautifully landscaped 

gardens are designed to be enjoyed throughout the year 

and include shaped lawned areas, well stocked borders 

and a central water feature. A composite boarded deck 

wraps around the garden room and the kitchen and there’s 

a separate, paved terrace deliberately situated against the 

low stone boundary wall, to take advantage of the panoramic 

views to the West. 

Chocolate-box pretty on the outside and the height 

of modern day luxury on the inside, The Malt 

House in English Bicknor is the result of a stylish 

and imaginative refurbishment. 

“It’s made it a pleasure to live in,” say owners Peter Scott 

and Helen Campion, who bought the property in 2015, 

moving there from a nearby farm and determined to stay in 

the locality. The three-bedroom cottage, in the heart of the 

popular Forest of Dean village, was in an ideal spot. “English 

Bicknor has a warm and welcoming village community, with 

many activities centred on the village hall which is situated 

only a few hundred metres away!” 

The couple were also entranced by the cottage’s 

surroundings: “There are fabulous views to the Welsh Hills at 

the rear and there’s open countryside at the front. The house 

gets sunshine throughout the day and we get to see glorious 

sunrises and sunsets.” 

Initially called Verandah Cottage, The Malt House is thought 

to date from about 1850 and at some time in its history it was 

renamed in line with village tradition, as it is believed to have 

been a place where local beer was made. 

On buying it, Peter and Helen embarked on a ninemonth 

programme of work to have the cottage restored, 

remodelled and extended, tastefully blending traditional 

character with contemporary additions and introducing the 

very latest technology. 

Says Peter: “We completely gutted the existing house, 

installing new plumbing and electrics, a new heating system 

and full insulation throughout. We also extended it, by 

adding a sun room and we made the kitchen, dining and 

sun room open plan. All the fitments and fittings are to a very 

high spec – for example we had specialist carpenters make 

the solid oak doors, we installed triple glazed patio folding 

doors, we have a Rako smart lighting system, a SONOS 

sound system and Honeywell Heating controls which we can 

operate from an App.” 

The stone-built cottage, with its patterned clay tile roof, 

sculpted facias and barge boards now has plenty of kerb 

appeal, enhanced by its neatly laid out gardens. “We had 

both the front and rear gardens landscaped to a plan

HOME IMPROVEMENTS 27 

Want to make your home more sustainable – here 

are 10 Sustainable Home Improvements top tips 

In today’s environmentally conscious world, making sustainable choices for 

our homes isn’t just a trend; it’s a necessity. This was backed up by a survey 

conducted by Centrica last year that showed 55% of people thought we 

should be making our homes more sustainable and 47% had already taken 

steps to do this. 

From reducing energy consumption to minimising waste, every small change 

contributes to a greener, more eco-friendly lifestyle. As experts in windows, 

doors, and conservatories, Glevum understands the importance of sustainable 

living. In this blog post, we’ll explore ten actionable steps you can take to make 

your home more sustainable, with a focus on energy efficiency, conservation, 

and eco-friendly practices. There is also the happy coincidence that several of 

these also save you money as well saving the planet. 

1. Energy-Efficient Windows 

You would of course expect this to be first on the list. Investing in energy-efficient windows can 

significantly reduce heat loss during winter and minimise heat gain in summer. This of course 

then reduces the need for heating and cooling and cuts your energy bills. They also come with 

the added benefits of aesthetic appeal, better sound-proofing and enhanced security. 

2. Insulation Upgrades 

Improving insulation throughout your home, including walls, floors, and attics, helps maintain 

a comfortable indoor temperature year-round while lowering energy consumption. Consider 

eco-friendly insulation materials like cellulose, wool, or recycled fiberglass for a sustainable 

option. 

3. Solar Panels Installation 

Harnessing solar energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels not only reduces your reliance on 

grid electricity but also lowers your carbon footprint. Explore options for solar panel installation 

on your roof or in your garden to generate clean, renewable energy for your home. 

9. Smart Home Technology 

Embrace smart home technology to optimise energy usage and enhance convenience. From 

programmable thermostats to smart lighting systems, these innovative solutions help you 

monitor and control energy consumption for a more sustainable lifestyle. They are also easy 

to install and use – with lots of mobile phone-controlled systems like Kasa with their bulbs 

and plugs. 

10. Make full use of the recycling facilities available to you 

Most of us have either weekly or fortnightly recycling collections for food waste, plastics, 

bottles, tins, cardboard, and garden waste. Are you recycling as much as you can though 

– old furniture, clothes, books, or toys can go to charity shops and there are local drop-off 

points in many supermarket car parks and door-to-door collections of clothes for charities. 

By implementing these ten sustainable home improvements, you can create an eco-friendlier 

and energy-efficient living environment for yourself and future generations. At Glevum 

Windows, Doors, and Conservatories, we’re committed to helping homeowners make 

environmentally responsible choices for their homes. Contact us today to find out about our 

stylish range of energy efficient UPVC and aluminium windows and doors. Call us on 0800 

332255 or visit www.glevum.co.uk. 

Together, let’s build a greener tomorrow, one home at a time – we can all play our part. 

4. Energy-Efficient Appliances 

Upgrade old, energy-guzzling appliances with high-efficiency models bearing the ENERGY 

STAR label. From refrigerators to washing machines, energy-efficient appliances consume less 

electricity, saving you money on utility bills while benefiting the environment. For example, 

something as simple as an energy efficient kettle can save 20% of energy use compared with an 

older less efficient model – so these improvements don’t have to costs the earth (pun intended).

and at what temperature, in certain cases. 

5. Water Conservation Measures 

Implement water-saving fixtures such as low-flow toilets, faucets, and showerheads to minimise 

water wastage. Additionally, consider collecting rainwater for watering the garden or installing 

a greywater recycling system to reuse water from sinks and showers. If you switch to being 

charged by your water usage via a smart meter rather than annual rates – you could save around 

£150 or benefit even more if you reduce your usage. 

6. Sustainable Flooring Choices 

Opt for eco-friendly flooring materials like bamboo, cork, reclaimed wood, or recycled tiles to 

reduce the environmental impact of your home. These sustainable options not only look stylish 

but also promote responsible resource management.

Your lawyers, for life. 

Replace traditional incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient LED lights throughout your home. 

LED bulbs consume significantly less energy, last longer, and produce less heat, making them a 

sustainable lighting choice for indoor and outdoor spaces. The UK Government own estimates 

show that LEDs use up to 90% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than traditional 

incandescent bulbs. 

8. Eco-Friendly Landscaping 

Transform your outdoor space into a sustainable oasis by incorporating native plants, droughtresistant 

landscaping, and permeable surfaces. These eco-friendly landscaping practices 

conserve water, promote biodiversity, and enhance curb appeal. When you have your garden 

picture perfect maybe you might want to consider a Conservatory allowing you to enjoy your 

garden all year round.
