The covered entrance is reached by passing through the gates and ascending the tree lined drive way through the park to the back of the house surrounded by trees and plants which is diverse with each season.

In spring see the multitude of colours of the flowers under the covered walkway. The greens in summer of the trees and hedges which change to autumn reds and golds. The winter with the bareness and snow laying on the trees and ground.

The four level fountain, built in the 1930’s, which mirrors the water like glass. The water escapes from the fountain arrogantly in the summer and plays games with the light, while in the winter is calmer and more languid which can freeze and make wonderful sculptures.
