Front Garden

Until 2005, the main entrance to St Olaves Court was via a bridge from pavement level over cobbled stones.

​

With the renovation of 2005, a front garden was created with several beds for planting.

​

The front garden is dominated by a Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus)  a holly tree (Ilex Aquifolium) and three Cypress trees (Cupressus sempervirens).

​

Below are some views of the front garden.
