Introduction
The house, now demolished, was accompanied by still intact formal terraces and gardens, and a walled kitchen garden of the same date. There are informal plantings of woody exotics and shrubs towards the pool. Features include a small Classical bridge leading to woodland walks and parkland. The site is now a holiday resort.
