A seventeenth century house, started in 1611, with a historic garden. The estate map of 1729 shows three radiating avenues meeting at the edge of the enclosed garden, near the house, with a woodland 'wilderness' thought to date from 1629.The garden is likely to have had a parterre in the seveneenth century. A garden temple was built in 1760. The avenues were re-planted in the nineteenth century and a Victorian 'formal garden' was made in front of the house, designed by WA Nesfield and Sir Digby Wyat in 1872. It has steps, balustrades, urns and topiary. This design was simplified by Norah Lindsey in the 1930s and planted with herbaceous plants.

    A beaytiful garden and grounds. Well worth the visit, especially when the herbacious garden near the house is at its peak. Interesting newly planted upo Orangery with huge range of citrus plants.
