Visit the House & Gardens

Open Intermittently Throughout the Year - Please Select a Ticket to View Availability

One of England’s finest and most beautiful Tudor Houses, surrounded by a broad fish-filled moat. Original Tudor service areas little altered. Acquired as a lifetime project in 1970 when costs deterred all others. Main rooms improved in Gothick style in 1825 enhanced idiosyncratically since 1971 by the current owners. The extensive family friendly Gardens are enjoyable in every season.
