Built in 1460, this fine timer-framed hall-house was restored by Sir Edward Lutyens for the family who still live there. The interior features fine furniture and needlework. The surrounding informal gardens, separated by yew hedges and original farm buildings, contain a wide variety of unusual and interesting plants. Of special interest is the Meadow Garden in Spring and the new Hovel garden.
