Nynehead Court

Nynehead Court is a house with rendered rubble walls designed to resemble ashlar stone, organized around a central courtyard. The principal apartments are located in the south and west wings of the building.

The property dates to the medieval period and passed from the Fluri family through the de Wyke family to the Sanford family, who owned it from 1599 until the early 20th century. This succession of owners left different architectural marks on the building.

The house is surrounded by formal gardens, including a knot garden and pine tree collection across the grounds, reflecting traditional English landscape design. These garden spaces shape how the estate appears and functions as a whole.

The property sits north of Wellington with its entrance marked by square stone piers and walls. The drive extends southwest between grass banks, providing clear orientation to the approach.

An internal keystone on the facade is dated 1675, marking a major rebuilding phase. Below it are earlier Tudor doorways and walls from the original construction of the house.
