Description
Nineteenth century gardens and landscaped park at Greenlands House.
Garden dates from the late 19th century and includes an orangery and a walled garden (Grade II). There is also a late 19th century gardener's house (Grade II), and a boat house (B8).
The grounds of a substantial C19 Thames-side country villa, developed in 3 main phases alongside those of the villa. The informal pleasure grounds of c.1810 around the new villa were supplemented in the early 1850s by the park and old kitchen garden, and in the early 1870s by a new kitchen garden and lodges; a final, minor, later C19 phase saw the pleasure grounds extended east. This layout, including much planting, survives largely intact although with some losses around the villa and in the kitchen gardens resulting from the use as a management college since 1946 and construction of new buildings and car parking. It is part of an important group of Thames-side villas along this stretch including Taplow Court, Cliveden, Harleyford, Danesfield, Wittington, Fawley Court (all Bucks), Culham Court and Park Place (both Berkshire). See report for detail (B10).
