	This unique property is displayed in the condition in which it was left to the National Trust, rather than being restored to its former glory - and is all the more interesting for this. The house contains the eclectic collections of the family, ranging from shells to butterflies. The nursery may be of particular interest to younger ones. The walled kitchen garden is one of the few areas which has been brought back to life. There is also extensive parkland to enjoy.
	Other notes: Pushchairs cannot be taken into the house.
