A team of both paid and volunteer gardeners continue to maintain the historic gardens which the public can purchase tickets to visit during the season. The gardens opened in June 2024 as part of the annual National Garden Scheme and both the house and gardens were awarded Hidden Gem status in 2023 and 2024.
