Description
Early 20th century formal and informal gardens, designed in1938-9 and subdivided in 1984.
One of the last large-scale country houses, by architect A.S.G Butler on a new site in 1938-39, set in contemporary formal and informal gardens. The landscape survives largely intact but has been divided with the division of the buildings into many residences. The landscape design is integral with the house and Butler’s associated structures including garden terrace, stable block, forecourt walls and gardener’s cottage. The ensemble includes a formal approach from an imposing gatehouse through fields to the large forecourt, and informal gardens reached from the house via the formal terrace enclosed by the angled wings of the house, and formerly a kitchen garden. See report for detail (B2).
