DescriptionHansome Baroque country house built in the 17th-century, set in a large landscaped garden and deer park.

The house is set in 274 acres (1.1 km²) of gardens and parkland.

The property is now owned by the National Trust which took it over from the Government in 1961, who had purchased it from the Blathwayt family in 1956.The house and garden are open to the public from mid-March to the end of October, and the park all year, from late morning to about 5 pm. There is a bus service from Bath Spa railway station.
