The gardens as seen today were originally laid out in 1913 with the construction of the paths, the lawns, the lily pond, the well-head and a rose garden. By 1980, a large part of the Edwardian garden had fallen into disrepair and since the early 1980s the present owners have undertaken a major restoration programme. The rose garden has been replaced by an herbaceous flower garden, set off by a stunning fountain, and a new sunken garden, a shrub garden and an arboretum have all been created set against a backdrop of clipped hedges. A knot garden and topiary have been added as well as a Gothic Orangery to celebrate the Millennium.
