Location: - Ewelme must be one of the most attractive villages in South Oxfordshire and it has a long and extraordinary history. There are strong connections with the Tudor dynasty, and it is believed that both Henry VIII and Elizabeth I were conceived at Ewelme Palace. In 1437, Alice Chaucer, Duchess of Suffolk, grand-daughter of Geoffrey Chaucer and daughter of Thomas Chaucer founded the church, cloisters, almshouse and school complex. The primary school continues to occupy the building to this day and is believed to be the oldest school building in the country still functioning as a school. This mediaeval complex is of great historic importance and visitors come from all over the world to visit it. Jerome K Jerome, author of 'Three Men in a Boat' is buried in the church. The village is also renowned for its water-cress beds which are now managed by the Chiltern Society. There is a public house, 'The Shepherds Hut'and a successful village store that is run as a village co-operative.
The Gardens: - There is a gated approach to the front entrance of the house with the gardens wrapping around three sides of the plot and incorporating a large paved terrace that sits alongside the attached conservatory.
The gardens are south-facing and well established and include a number of specimen trees together with mature and well-stocked beds and borders. A large timber framed garden store and greenhouse, with electricity, sits to the flank of the house.
