Discover and explore the grounds, woodlands, gardens, orchards, the lake and the delights of one of the finest Victorian Walled Kitchen Gardens in the South West.
Set in 20 acres of grounds, this privately owned and elegant country house, provides a dramatic and imposing impression, as it breaks into view, when approached by the eastern drive with its coloured borders interspersed with ancient granite staddle stones.
Attractive and colourful shrubs and a herbaceous border surround the house with rolling well kept lawns stretching southerly towards the lake with its water loving plants – giant gunnera umbrellas, arum lilies, and bamboo galore, with green fields beyond.
The Woodlands
Our landscape suffered badly when the woodlands were damaged by the 1986 storm and devastated by the heartrending one of 25 January 1990. It has taken 8 years to remove the fallen trees and stumps, clear and level the site and replant. In aiming to restore the grounds as they would probably have looked over 100 years ago, we have planted over 15,000 trees.
