Westonbirt House and Gardens are a wonderful example of the art of the possible in Victorian England. They have been designated a Grade I listed building and landscape by English Heritage for the quality of design, masonry, interior fittings, decorative detail, collection of trees and it's significant place in history.

As a boarding school it has been continuously inhabited by a large household and the kitchens, laundry, domestic services and grounds are all in regular use.

Time has taken its toll on the estate, the building and the interior.  This presents many conservation and maintenance challenges. The Library and Camellia House have been succesfully conserved and restored but there is still much work to do.
