Other features include a Victorian fernery and a sunken garden. Facing east it opened onto a fernery and side garden. The 1904 sewer installation sadly had to go through the back of the fernery. A conservatory of butterflies, orchidarium and fernery has been developed. The estate also included a fernery and rose garden that are no longer in existence. The Hugo Lassen Fernery is located behind this building. The gardens include water features, a fernery, a sunken garden and herbaceous borders. A fernery was opened in October 1885. The grounds also contained a fernery, bush house, and fowl pens. These included the building of a new conservatory and fernery in Cook Park. The verandah to the north (former fernery) is enclosed with lattice and timber louvers. However it is during this period that the Hugo Lassen Fernery was built in 1938. The Fern Room or Fernery was opened in 1895. The courtyard, the Tropical House, and the Fernery were added later in the 1920s. In the early 1800s the ruined chapel became a fernery and later a Victorian folly.
