Originally one of the large farms in the area and part of the Glynde Estates, a Grade II* listed building dating from 1740. The brief for the garden restoration was to create a wildflower meadow and orchard to act as a nature corridor on the Downs and help biodiversity; a formal garden was to be established to match and connect the style of the main house with the views; the woodlands and raised beds to be restored and a growing area supported by a rainwater harvesting system.
