So close to the Castle, the grounds of which are your front garden and stay open 24/7. The path in front of the house weaves you down through the beautiful Bebra Gardens, past the paddling pool and down to the waterside. The house itself is believed to have been built from the Castle stone and beams that were destroyed during the English Civil War.
