There is also accommodation available for permanent staff and opportunities for riding and private stabling. Gardens The historic and unique Grade One listed gardens are separate to the larger grounds and could be opened to the public for a few days of the year for botanic garden enthusiasts and also to raise money for charities as the Spring Garden once was. The magnificent separately-owned former walled kitchen garden could be brought back into use to provide seasonal organic home produced food for the residents and guests and sold in the local market.
