"A hidden little gem of a place deep in the countryside. Beware Satnav takes you through some very tricky, windy small roads but its worth persevering. Great grounds to explore, a house you can walk round with ease that has a varied and colourful past. Quirky, fun, interesting with fabulous views. Don't forget to find the peacocks roaming the grounds too."
