Gardens & grounds

Open to the public seven days a week, Charlton House's historic gardens and grounds are a daily hub for walks, play, and exploration. Lovingly maintained by our head gardener and volunteers, highlights include the House's original walled gardens, one of James I's mulberry trees, and a summer house attributed to architect Inigo Jones.

Frilly's Tea Room

Established in 2021 and run by sisters Laura and Rebecca, Frilly's is a vibrant gathering spot, located at the very centre of Charlton House. They serve up coffee, afternoon tea, and lunch, and their specialties - cupcakes and local sausage rolls - are not to be missed!
