Magnificent Elizabethan House & Award Winning Gardens. The house is built of local stone and roofed with Horsham "slabs". It is built to an Elizabethan H-plan, complete with a Great Hall and Long Gallery. During the 18th and early 19th centuries further alterations and additions were made to the house. The landscaped Pleasure Grounds, with its lake and many specimen trees, were established during the 18th century. Beside the lake is Cannock House, a small classical summer house added in the early nineteenth century. Recently restored it enjoys lovely views of the cricket ground on the West Plain and Downs. The lawns are a sea of snowdrops, daffodils and primroses in spring. The striking white marble statue by the Serbian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic is displayed in the Three-Arched-Summer House.
