About this property
This most nostalgic and magical of gardens, evoking a past world of long summer holidays and secret places waiting to be discovered, was described by previous owner Agatha Christie as 'the loveliest place in the world'. The beautiful garden is renowned for its rare half-hardy plants, underplanted with drifts of native wild flowers. Among the many corners to explore are a Victorian fernery, an exquisitely restored vinery and the enigmatic 'Raleigh's boathouse'. Enjoy the adventure of arriving here by ferry and alighting at Greenway Quay, with dramatic views of the house from the river.
