The 16th century house and the gardens were home to the Brunner family until recent years. Following the death of the last resident, the National Trust carried out major repairs and refurbishment. Some of the buildings face a central green. There are also a series of walled gardens, some medieval towers, and an old well house enclosing a Tudor donkey wheel.<br \/>\nMost of the rooms are presented as they would have been when the Brunners lived there.<br \/>\nThe house interior is worth a visit, and the various buildings in the grounds are also of interest. Younger visitors may be disappointed to discover that the medieval towers are not accessible. Out in the grounds is an ice-house which has a thatched roof instead of the usual vault. The walled gardens will be of interest to garden admirers. Walks are possible in the wider estate.<br \/>\n<strong>Practical details<\/strong>: For the final approach, follow the brown signs and ignore your Sat-Nav, otherwise you will probably find yourself on a long narrow twisty single track country lane.<br \/>\nA visit here can be paired with a morning visit to nearby Nuffield Place.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1242\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1242\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Greys6917.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Greys6917-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Greys Court Dower House (private)\" title=\"Greys Dower House\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1242\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1242\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dower House (private)<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_1243\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1243\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Greys6919.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Greys6919-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Greys Court North-east Tower\" title=\"Greys North-east Tower\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1243\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1243\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">North-east Tower<\/figcaption><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_1244\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1244\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Greys6921.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daysoutblog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Greys6921-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Greys Court South-West Tower\" title=\"Greys South-West Tower\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1244\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1244\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">South-West Tower<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Trust Greys Court is a former family home and estate, in a rural Chilterns setting.
