Description: | Built in the 1850's, the house was pulled down in 1937.
The room shows armchairs around the fireplace, numerous vases and ornaments on the shelf above the fireplace, writing desk and chair, large wall painting of man in armour, woman with long robes and child with horses and many other plates and decorations on the walls and tables. It opened to the conservatory and overlooked the Italian garden. This was designed by Sir Frederick Leighton who was also responsible for much of the house. It included a pergola paved in red paviours and covered by Virginia creeper, wisteria, clematis and honeysuckle. There was a sunken rose garden nearby.
Other rooms in the house included a Japanese room,
a hall panelled with oak beams and a library.
