| Description | The formal garden is significant for its survival within the area known to be the cradle of the English Landscape Movement. The outbuildings include the 17th-century orangery. The cherry garden has lavender parterres flanked by two trellises of pleached hornbeam and a statue of Bacchus at its centre. There are also eight grass plats; a south terrace border with clipped yew cones, hibiscus and pomegranate trees and a maze-like ‘wilderness’. |
