    Group visits
    This modest semi-detached house was the family home of grocer William Straw Sr since 1923, and is remarkable because the Straws' sons preserved it almost unaltered till it came to the National Trust in 1990. The original interior provides a rare glimpse into inter-war lower middle-class life. Note: Blyth Grove is a private road; there is no access without advance booking. Please come to reception at 5 Blyth Grove at your allotted time. Max. group size of 18 for guided tour. No groups on Sats.
