This site is NOT open to public.
Brief description of site
Edwin Lutyens designed a scheme consisting of a large York stone terrace, lawns and herbaceous borders, leading down to an attractive sunken garden, which spanned much of the width of the plot. The garden is now mostly laid to lawn with euonymus hedges replacing the original yew plantings. However the sunken garden, the most important aspect of Lutyens’ original design, has survived.
Brief history of site
The house was built in 1904. The site was bought by Lady Sackville in 1923, and Lutyens was commissioned to re-model the house and grounds.
