Description
Seventeenth century formal gardens and ornamental pond at Penn House
The house is 17th to 18th century. To the rear of the house is a rectangular ornamental pond. The garden appears to be formal with walkways through them. There are also avenues of trees (B5).
Penn House is a country house of the Curzon and Howe families with a park, gardens and pleasure grounds in which a small garden surrounding the house in the 1760s was extended successively in the late C18/early C19, and late C19, with minor additions in the early-mid-C20. The grounds survive intact with much mature ornamental planting and are a good example of a Chiltern estate. See report for detail (B6).
