if you look on the 'old maps' webpage (click through from the os getamap page), you (well, I) can't see anything at all on that spot. The map's from about 1890. But you'd think all fancy landscaping was passe by then?

Also the map shows the place used to be called 'houndstreet' not hunstrete, should that be helpful.

I found a website for the Hunstete House...it is now a hotel. A book has just been published detailing it's history blah blah blah.
No mention of specific features in the grounds.
You would have thought that by the time of the "old map" the Ha Ha would have been in place. Are they marked on at other houses...I will have a look.
