I’m at my Nan’s house for a few days! Today we went to a house and gardens called Great Dixter. Lovely stunning gardens and a old timber beamed house. It’s only open 2-5pm. According to a lady we met it’s incredibly labour intensive, keeping all of those gardens going. Also the owner of the house lives in it still, which makes for quite an interesting effect. The house is very much 15th century but has the occasional modern lamp or table and chairs. Expensive stuff too. The ancient parlour has an old chair with an old table, complete with bills and paperwork and a phone! Very striking.
No photos allowed inside the house but here are some of the gardens.
