3 Fillongley Hall park and gardens, Fillongley parkland, 2 lakes, extensive pleasure grounds with walks, kitchen garden. Lovie reports that this early19th century villa site remains unchanged. The serpentine drive remains well-planted with shrubbery and specimen trees. To the west of the house and pleasure grounds, parkland with scattered tree planting remains, as does the parkland to the east of the house.
4 Grove cottage, Broad Lane, within parkland. Late C18th brick eye-catcher with attached C19th house. Lovie was unable to gain access to the grounds, so he surveyed the land from surrounding public roads. He was therefore unable to comment on the state of the large, irregularly-shaped kitchen garden.
