The main grounds lie to the rear (i.e. South) with an infinity lawn leading away from the house into the distance merging with the open countryside, and decoratively finished at the boundary with its unusual ornate yew hedging. There are established well stocked flower beds as well as ornate shrubs interspersed around the gardens, and farm gate access to the paddock. The paddock is safely enclosed and is screened by tall hedges from the gardens. Overall this impressive period property is beautifully balanced between the quality Grade II listed home, and its quintessential English country gardens.

This season Ralph Fiennes is acting and directing at the Theatre Royal. Bath has 2 independent cinemas showing the live performances from ROH and the Met, along with alternative films. The Holborne Museum and Victoria Art Gallery have an excellent programme of interesting exhibitions. And of course the Abbey is a great venue for choral music.
