It does look really strange, it was added to over the years hence the fragmented look.

What an unusual-looking house. The zombies do look strange though I agree.

“Down” House aptly named then?

I love using the guidebooks to go round and letting the room guides tell me of the most interesting features. It is a much better experience all round

Another house I’ve heard about but not visited – so thanks to you, for the chance to see something of it. Lovely pix, despite the weather. Oh, and I do so agree about the audio commentaries: far better to do a bit of research first, then explore at will & at your own pace.

I think you would enjoy it, there are lots of places for a Bear to explore.

In the gardens I tracked down a fig tree and also one of those bee hives that are glass sided so you can watch the bees

There are quite a few I haven’t visited, I need to plot my way around the country. Maybe I should find one over by you and take you on the grand tour of the estate?

Cherie, is there any stately home you haven’t visited?
