Beautiful 5 acre formal gardens set in 100 acres of parkland and wildflower meadows. The gardens were originally designed by Tom Stuart-Smith. The gardens are a collection of rooms with a walled garden, cut flowers, vegetable garden, bulb meadows, large pot displays and a glasshouse. A long lime avenue and apple orchards surround the elegant house which sits in the middle of the gardens.
