Leverton Farm Buildings & Potting Sheds
Adjacent to the walled gardens are the model farm buildings, now called the Leverton Farm Buildings. There have been buildings on this site since the early 1800s. They were completely rebuilt in 1892 to the designs of Sir Arthur Blomfield who worked extensively on Chilton Estate buildings and the main house. By the early 1980s they were no longer used as farm buildings and were converted into basic workshops. The courtyard was completely refurbished in 2010 and is now home to a variety of thriving small local businesses.
Two blocks of redundant potting sheds adjacent to the Leverton Farm Buildings have also been carefully converted for commercial use. The third block (which backs onto the Fig House, the last remaining structure within the walled gardens) is currently the subject of a planning application to provide further small commercial premises.
The small orchard to the north of the walled gardens has been restored and replanted and the Bunyard Apple House has been re-thatched.
