Greenway Estate
Greenway is the name of
Agatha Christie's home in
Devon,
England. Built in the
1600s, it was bought by the author and her husband
Max Mallowan in
1938.
Greenway is now a Grade II* listed building. The Greenway estate is known for its large riverside garden, which was acquired by the
National Trust in
1999. The gardens contain plants from the southern hemisphere and have been open to the public since March
2002.
The house was occupied by Christie and Mallowan until their deaths in
1976 and
1978 respectively. Christie's daughter
Rosalind and her husband Anthony Hicks lived in the house from
1968. Rosalind Hicks died in
2004.
The garden is open to the public as is the Barn Gallery, which shows work by contemporary local artists. The house is not open.
