Shockerwick House, Bath, England

Shockerwick House is a large Georgian country house. The entrance to it is to the north. The garden slopes down from the north and looks out over the valley below. The boundaries of the garden to the north, south and east follow the course of the ha-ha. The orangery, croquet lawn and swimming pool are found at the end of the terrace to the east.

A smooth lawn slopes down from the terrace to the southern boundary. The ground rises steeply to the north, where there is some planting of trees around the fountain. The kitchen garden and the greenhouse lie to the west of the house.

The site is neatly maintained and mainly in good condition. Lack of sufficient gardening staff means that there is little planting, most of the garden being down to grass.
