A home for Lord Fairhaven
At the age of 30, the future Lord Fairhaven began to create his first home. Wanting to inspire and surprise visitors, he created a spectacular garden with planting for all seasons, along with a cosy house in which to entertain.
Life revolved around horse racing and shooting, and guests enjoyed 1930s luxury.
Step through a different door and immerse yourself in a small but perfectly formed experience.
Opening times
From 6 January, the house will be open for tours only at 11am, 12.30pm and 2pm on the ground floor while the team carry out annual conservation work. Please see our upcoming events page for more information. We look forward to welcoming you.
