Once the 1900 gatehouse to a long gone estate, this English style house and its root cellar are surrounded by a swell of cottage gardens. Enter through the century-old gate and explore the shady and sunny perennial beds featuring native plant and butterfly themes. Note the birdhouse replica of Rockford Tower.
