Set in the lovely Somerset countryside, the house is surrounded by 30 acres of award winning gardens described by Alan Titchmarsh as 'One of the great gardens in the West Country'. The garden offers something for every season with Spring bulbs and Summer borders. Around the grounds there are sculptures and architectural features plus a cascade of lakes and the impressive Centenary Fountain, at 160ft the highest powered fountain in England.
