The house sits on rising land above a minor road. The Georgian frontage has two projecting wings and a central colonade. A dwelling has been on the site for 750 years, the last major rebuild being in the 18th century and the last major alteration being the addition of the library wing in 1815. The Coach Hall adjacent to the house serves as ticket office and tea room when the house is opened to the public. The estate is quite large and includes the Cadbury Castle hill-fort nearby (see separate entry)
When my sister and I visited the house, we were welcomed by Catriona Furzdon, the lady of the house, at the Coach Hall. We had a look at the gardens surrounding the house before joining a guided tour of the house interior. The house has some quite interesting rooms filled with old furniture, the details being ably narrated by our guide. The gardens around the house have various sub-sections and at the rear they look down on the older parts of the house. Behined the house are terraced beds of herbs and roses, and a thatched round house. Below the house and across the road is the Meadow Garden, which has trees and a pond. We enjoyed our visit here, as we liked the house and garden and had a warm welcome. We enjoyed the tea and cake too.
