Campsey Ashe Park
A house is known to have been on the site since the mid-sixteenth century. This was remodelled regularly and was ultimately rebuilt in 1883 and known as High House but was demolished in 1955 leaving a nineteenth century stable block and coach house that has been converted into a residential property. Surrounding the house site are the remains of seventeenth central formal gardens, including two parallel canals, a cedar lawn and walled kitchen garden. The gardener’s cottage is now in separate ownership and includes a partly-walled garden and the remains of an icehouse. Some early-twentieth century additions have been made to the pleasure grounds, which stand in a park of possibly mid-seventeenth century origins including an avenue of trees. The park was extended during the late-nineteen century.
Not open to the public.
