The main house opens with an entrance hall. An 1840s bathing house forms part of the main property and is built over a natural spring. Even before the bathing house was built, the spring drew people to the site from far and wide – including King George III in the 18th Century. Today, the historic spring is accessible via a borehole and currently supplies the whole of the property.
