In an exceptional setting on the North Downs, this originally Regency house was extensively remodelled in 1906-9 by the Hon. Mrs Ronald Greville, a well-known Edwardian hostess. Her collection of fine paintings, furniture, porcelain and silver are displayed in the reception rooms and galleries, as they were at the time of her celebrated house parties. There are extensive grounds, a walled rose garden, lawns and landscape walks. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother spent part of their honeymoon here in 1923.
