Right around the corner, a 3 minute walk. Definitely an interesting experience. The restoration of the property and attention to detail is a sight to be seen along with a very peaceful, serene garden that is completely unexpected in a very positive way. I don't believe it's open on Mondays. Check their website for specific times they are open to the public.
