The estate, which is now in divided ownership, contains two lakes, formed from canals which existed in the 17th-century formal gardens. The former walled garden contains a garden centre. The former stables now houses The Ferrers Centre for Arts and Crafts. The site is surrounded by a rolling landscape, which is the result of a number of phases of development spanning six centuries. Pevsner described its position as “unsurpassed in the country – certainly as far as Englishness is concerned”.
