Greys Court

Tags

Greys Court is a National Trust property near Henley-on-Thames.

House

Small by NT standards – you could actually imagine living here. Although the house is Tudor in origin, the interior is basically 1930s – 1950s, and I counted 3 TVs and a food mixer. I particularly liked the water colours and would say that it is worth visiting for these alone.

Gardens

A couple of very small formal gardens approached through medieval ruins.

Grounds

Access to an area of open grass and woodland through the Japanese-style Moon Gate with open views across the neighbouring countryside. Good for a gentle stroll. solar-powered thatched ice-house.

Wildlife

On the day that I visited, there were at least three red kites flying low over the house and grounds. Although these are now quite common in this area, they still manage to carry a wow factor.
