Introduction
The manor house survives as a fine example of Jacobean domestic architecture with remnants of its formal gardens.
The grounds are partly separated from the park by a brick ha-ha of 1847. The north boundary wall dates mainly from the 17th century and there is a notable Lime Walk aligned with Charlton House. The park is now dominated by sports pitches but there are a number of newly redesigned gardens, including a Japanese-style herb garden, and the adjoining pond garden.
