New Place, Southampton, England

The gravelled fore court on the south side is approached through a pair of tall wrought iron gates supported by brick piers. On the west side of the house there is a formal garden of terraces, walls, steps and lawns at three levels symmetrically arranged in line with the axis of the house. This leads to a large mown grass field used for cricket, croquet, and providing a good view of the west elevation of the house.

The terrace adjacent to the house has spaces at either end for the two summerhouses as proposed by Lutyens but never built, and a wide flight of stone steps leading down to the next level. The areas to the east of the house proposed by Lutyens for a kitchen garden and orchard have now been developed for accommodation and car parking. Tennis courts have been developed in the surrounding grounds and fields. However, much of the original tree belt still remains and contributes to the special landscape character of the site.
