The meticulously maintained lawn stretches out before us, inviting us to take a leisurely stroll and immerse ourselves in nature's tranquility. Lush greenery surrounds the house, creating a harmonious blend between man-made architecture and natural beauty. The imposing facade of Down House stands proudly at the center of attention. Its elegant Georgian design exudes timeless charm and hints at the rich history that unfolded within its walls.
