As we rely on our volunteers to help us open, on occasion some areas of the house might have to close for all, or part, of selected days. We always strive to open as much as we can and apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.
The intimate 18th-century garden is hidden away in the heart of Westerham. The garden is stocked with flowers and plants from the Georgian era.
