A view of The Barn in Bickleigh Vale, Mooroolbark, the village ( https://www.bickleighvale.com.au/) created and developed from the 1920s on by Edna Walling (1896–1973), one of Australia's most influential landscape designers. Bickleigh Vale is rarely open to the public and my walking group was fortunate to have private access to some of the gardens. It was a grey and very wet day so all photos were taken in difficult conditions and don't do justice to the pure loveliness of the place.
This home is in a gorgeous setting, but I wonder at how the building materials hold up when covered with so many plants! That said, you were so fortunate to be given access to the gardens!
Thankyou. And yes, I agree, about the building materials.
We notes signs of rot and damp and I would imagine the house to be cold in winter, although probably beautifully cool in summer.. @Weezilou
