Worth visiting just for the beautiful gardens. There are a series of 'rooms' with different styles: dry, woodland, shade, courtyard, shade etc.
However the houses are the real stars if you have any interest in domestic architecture. Not at all showy but simple, elegant and perfectly suited to modern living. A real inspiration.

The houses are beautiful. The open day was tremendous with refreshments being served and 2 of the 3 houses open. Peter Aldington was there and his houses are unique and have a fun rustic vibe. I’m not even an architect!
That’s not even mentioning the gardens, which are on a top scale with plants being sold and garden at a scale that a national trust property would be proud of.
You definitely get your money’s worth!
A few things to note:
•The house is only open on a few open days per year so check website first, as Google maps is probably wrong.
•You have to take off your shoes for some of the properties.
•About 200 people were booked in for our open day and it’s a lot of people for a smallish space, so be prepared to squeeze past people and you might need a mask.
