An Elizabethan/Jacobean house with a serpentine park and a Victorian garden. The park was designed by Lancelot Brown after 1761. He made a Ha Ha, removed avenues, formed a series of ponds, carried out extensive planting and installed a temple and a dairy. In the 1860s, a terrace garden was made and the old kitchen garden was made into an elaborate 'Italian garden' with parterres using the family's monogram as a motif.
