towers and turrets, survives with its original Victorian interior intact, an
unrivalled collection of Victorian decorative arts, an insight into life below
stairs and a sumptuously decorated private Chapel. It is surrounded by 200ha
(500 acres) of landscaped gardens, kitchen gardens, park, farmland and estate
buildings which include a home farm and sawmill.
