we had made it bespoke! We needed a structural engineer to make it sure the support was right. This exact one has been sold. Though I do have drawings to have it made again if needed

So you get morning sun? Good thing with clay, although it is heavy to dig, it is full of nutrients. My garden is very similar, but a bit longer. I think a cottage garden would suit you. It gives you the wild flower look but with more structure and colour. I like all fences to be flanked by plants, whether it is shrubs or climbers. Plants grow better in the ground than in raised beds but of course if you want raised beds then make them as big as you can with open bottoms, for better drainage. Railway sleeper raised beds have a softer more country feel but ensure they are new sleepers without creosote - not good for us or the environment. Do you like circles? I think round lawns are lovely and I’ve posted a picture below as an example. My garden is rectangular without grass, but I’ve put in loads of plants to soften the hard edges. Plant suggestions: Small trees- Cornus Souza, Crab Apple (Malus) Coralburst, Acer palmatum (Japanese Maple), Dwart Apple Trees. This is Malus Coralburst only grows to 2-3 metres - a true mini tree! Climbers - Trachelospernum star jasmine, evergreen, very fragrant flowers. Clematis, there are hundreds of varieties. Honeysuckle, many varieties with fragrant flowers. They all need something to twine around such as trellis or an obelisk. Shrubs, which add structure, Ceanothus, evergreen with stunning blue flowers. Cotinus, tall with lovely purple-red leaves. Cistus, small evergreen with large pink or white flowers. Roses, hundreds of varieties. Flowers, Lavender, Geraniums, Aquilegias, Anemones, Asters, Doronicums, Crocosmia, Hemerocallis. These are all easy to care for. Interspersing with feathery grasses adds a prairie feel - very popular at Chelsea! For shady corners Ferns are lovely. This is a small selection of cottage garden plants, there are just hundreds but I didn’t want to overwhelm you! Here’s some visuals. The first pic shows how you can hide a shed:

Help! How to anchor the back of a small corner perennial flower bed?

I like Sonia’s idea for an obelisk and a climber. The winter flowering jasmine might be nice and give you some winter colour ( p.s. I’m no good at remembering the Latin names:)). Alternatively I thought some flowering spikes might look interesting with the natural looking mix, so something like perennial foxgloves, verbascum, acanthus (think there’s an evergreen variety of this), penstemon etc. For spring flowering you also look at Aquilegia, some of the vulgaris varieties can grow quite tall (up to 1m). They do have a tendency to self seed everywhere tho but easily controlled and very pretty when in flower. I think an evergreen of some sort would look good and anchor the rest of the planting, something that’s easily controlled such as osmanthus holly olive, yew, or the upright euonymus, all slow growing and won’t be fussed about being clipped.

First I'll post some more before photos. I don't have any after photos exactly because in many ways this is still a work in progress - we have done the thermal improvements that have improved the comfort levels, but not the aesthetic improvements... It is currently being used as a filming location as well though so you will see parts of this house in a sky drama very soon... This is the rooflight at the top of the stairwell. I took out the smaller rooflight to the north facing slope of the roof (the one on the left of this picture) and replaced the larger rooflight with a new aluminium framed double glazed unit. The reason for this choice is because aluminium is next to no maintenance and the height of this roof is such that maintenance is both very costly and a health and safety risk.. It's always better to design out health and safety risks if possible by making maintenance as easy as possible - or as in this instance as close to not necessary as possible. We also used glass with a coating that means it won't need regular cleaning either. As you can see there are also rooflights at ceiling level and these have textured glass so you don't see the rooflights above at all once now they are closed. As you can see the original eternal rooflights weren't much to look at so we didn't lose anything very special by replacing these timber framed rooflights with new aluminium framed ones. We also added in a loft hatch with drop down ladder over the landing so that you can access the roof space safely - this will make it possible to clean the top of the internal rooflights etc... Since the roof is so high and the south facing slope is to the rear of the house and not overlooked the replacement rooflights are also not a detraction from the original, plus we added a large array of solar PV to this slope...

Good question S L, it is hard to take a good picture of white wooden shutters as an amateur photographer, but hopefully you can pick up the detail in these 2 photographs of the other side of the room. We used The Cambridge Shutter Company for the warm white traditional shutters. Rebecca, the owner, is so helpful and knowledgable. The service was amazing. www.thecambridgeshuttercompany.co.uk if you are interested and local to Cambridge area.
