The formal gardens and landscaping at Englemere are absolutely spectacular and extend to about 12.5 acres in total. The old squash court, erected by Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Weigall, was renovated to create the luxury leisure suite which includes an entertaining room, kitchen, separate changing rooms and a gym. Adjacent to the leisure suite is the swimming pool, which is elegantly surrounded by stone temples to complete the classical garden architecture throughout the grounds. The idyllic greenery within the gardens remains, including an outstanding old English oak, copper beech trees, plus a charming array of wild bluebells. The grounds include an enchanting walkway framed by sweet chestnut trees and a formal walled garden lies adjacent to the terrace and fountain area.
