Four miles South-East of Petersfield off the B2146

Lost on top of the Downs, and mellowed to a silvery pink by the sea breezes, this original 17th century brick house was redecorated and filled with beautiful things owned by the Fetherstonhaugh family in the 18th century.

 

In Regency days Sir Henry Fetherstonhaugh, after a fling with Emma Hart(Nelson`s Lady Hamilton), married his dairy-maid. She and her sister lived there for 50 years without touching it.

 

Primarily a green foliage garden, laid out in the picturesque style, with flowering shrubs and an under-planting of bulbs, perennials and herbaceous plants.
