General Info
The beautiful 130-hectare (320-acre) estate offers garden, woodland and riverside walks for all ages, with superb spring bulbs. Horse carriages, a harness room, acetylene gas plant and a laundry are in the imposing stable yard. The handsome 1820 house is unchanged since 1900. The cluttered interiors evoke the Bond family's Edwardian taste and interests and include a barrel organ that is played occasionally for musical house tours.
