More about this scene
A grand residence gives way to accommodation somewhat more compact and bijou. The interior of The Spinney was particularly handsome, with dark oak and mahogany fixtures throughout. Although relatively modern, the house incorporated both a 17th-century fireplace and panelling reputedly salvaged from an ancient Bristol church. The terraced gardens were its equal – both tropical and alpine collections shared space with an orchard and beautifully maintained tennis courts.
