Bickham House is a small mansion attractively set in its own 5 acre park in a peaceful wooded valley.The early C18 house of the Short family, disguised by early C19 asymmetrical additions to the entrance front: a colonnaded veranda running around two sides of the house, and a large projecting bowed dining room, with service wing beyond. Bickham House has lawns, mature trees and shrubs; naturalised bulbs and herbaceous borders. There is also a conservatory, small parterre, pond garden; an impressive 1 acre walled kitchen garden and a lake. Our visit takes place by kind invitation from Mrs Julia Tremlett who will be our guide in the garden and who is very kindly hosting us to tea after the tour.
