This 18th-century house, designed by Samuel Wyatt, is steeped in history and full of mementoes of the family's legacy and travels. A life-long passion for horology led the fifth Lord Harris to accumulate one of the largest personal collections of clocks in the country. The gardens are full of interest during every season. The Kitchen Garden was originally designed by Lady Arabella Lennox-Boyd and is finished with Victorian greenhouses, along with figs, hops, soft fruits and traditional apple and pear varieties. You can also take a stroll through the Walled Garden, where you'll find a pond adjacent to the Pinetum grotto.
