Quick facts
The present house was built between 1562 and 1568 with stone taken from the ruins of Waverley Abbey.
Carvings above the library fireplace dated 1570 commemorate a visit by Elizabeth I, who had found the earlier house too small.
The 2.5-acre walled garden is divided into planted rooms, and the More-Molyneux family still own and live at Loseley.
