Overview
A late Victorian gentleman's villa, typical of houses built for prosperous business and professional people on the fringe of towns and cities. The house is a time capsule of early 20th-century life both above and below stairs, when it was home to the Lander family. Displays of embroidery by Joan Lander can be seen within the house. The gardens and grounds are very attractive, and taking tea in the old smoking room overlooking the croquet lawn is a quintessential English experience. Special events throughout the year.

About the area
Perhaps nowhere else in England will you find a county so deeply rural and with so much variety as Shropshire. Choose a clear day, climb to the top of The Wrekin, and look down on that ‘land of lost content’ so wistfully evoked by A E Housman.
