As it looks like you've got a blank canvas I'd start with these questions:
1. Is there water access?
2. Would you ever sit there, or is it purely for the view upto the house/from the house?
3. In a binary choice which way would you fall - hard lines/minimalist or cottage/prairie?
Personally I like scented plants generally and especially at the front of the house so that, and winter interest, would drive a lot of the planting.

In terms of low maintenance here are some pics from the Hampton Court show... I forget the theme but it was sort of low maintenance surviving climate change or something.

Interesting. Have done similar in the back garden. It’s all open with a path to the front door so wouldn’t sit there or really spend time in it. No water access either so needs to be fairly easy to maintain. Clay here is really rich here though and roses do well.
