As you wander through its grand chambers, take in the refined elegance of the drawing room and the lavish details of the dining room. As you ascend the eye-catching staircase, be sure to notice the portraits of Charles II and make your way to the distinguished bedroom that hosted Queen Mary in 1937.

Revel in the meticulously designed formal gardens, where a diverse array of flowers, shrubs, and trees thrive, including a Great Lime Tree.
