Owner Amanda was inspired to build the property in honour of her Auntie Annie, who used to work hard to keep the garden and its veg patch in fine order. Amanda originally thought about installing a bench, then an arbour and then a summerhouse, but none of them seemed enough.

A small inheritance after Annie’s passing sparked an idea and Amanda called in her carpenter friend to create “something” out of reclaimed tree trunks from the nearby Fawsley Estate.
