Despite its 14C exterior, the interior dates mainly back to the 18-19C. The dwelling contains a fine collection of paintings and furniture, as well as some fine specimens of Meissen porcelain. The gracious statue of a Greek slave is by Hiram Powers, a US sculptor who caused a scandal when he presented it at the Great Exhibition in 1851. In the fine walled garden, there are some old yew trees and a 200-year-old fig tree.
