❖ 16th-century walled garden and herb/kitchen garden❖ Bee-boles (niches for keeping bees)❖ Original tower with oak spiral staircase❖ Rare, classically-inspired late Tudor wall paintings❖ Brickwork and timber attic beams
The house was built by Clement Sisley as a country home for his growing family. Originally farmland surrounded the house, contributing to the family’s income and providing food for the table.
