The house is now maintained by the National Trust though it narrowly avoided being demolished in the 1960s and replaced by a bus depot before the residents of Cockermouth objected.
Only the desk in their father’s office is the family’s original 18th century furniture but the front part of the house has genuine 18th century furniture. The garden is superbly maintained by volunteers in a style appropriate for the time.
