This is a fantastic house and was the former home of the 7th Earl of Bridgewater, the father of the English canal system. It was built in the classic Gothic Revival style and largely completed in 1814.

This is the garden for which the Mixed Style was first advocated, by Humphry Repton in his Red Book of 1813. Repton described his design as the 'child of my age and declining powers'. He proposed 15 different types of garden. After Repton's death, his proposals were adopted and implemented by Sir Jeffry Wyatville.

As Repton wished, there is a notable mixture of features: an Italian garden, a circular Rose Garden, a Monk's garden and Holy Well, an Armorial Garden, a conservatory, a grotto and an avenue of Wellingtonias leading to an arboretum. [Repton proposed the following elements for his pioneering Mixed Style garden: a Lawn; a Pleasure Ground; a Holy Well; a Pomarium; a Monk's Garden; an Arboretum; a Magnolia and American Garden; an Embroidered Parterre; a Grotto and Garden for Rock Plants; a Cabinet de verdure; a Mount Garden; a Rosarium and Fountain; Connecting Interior Walks; an Open Terrace and Exterior Walks. Many of these features became classic elements of Victorian garden design].

In 1836, Loudon commented that 'The surface of the park is not without considerable undulations, but these are not heightened or brought into effect in a picturesque point of view by the emplacement of the wood. There is, also, a total want of water.'

The 7th Earl of Bridgewater commissioned the architect James Wyatt to build the neo-Gothic Ashridge House as his home. Wyatt died in 1813 and the project was completed the following year by his nephew Jeffry Wyatt (later known as Sir Jeffry Wyatville). The present house is regarded as one of the finest examples of early Gothic Revival architecture and is now a Grade I listed building.

Ashridge house was built on the site of the 13th-Century priory building, which had been demolished in 1800. Some parts of the old priory were incorporated into the house by James Wyatt, including the under croft of the monastic refectory, featuring two aisles, seven bays and a rib-vaulted ceiling, which he repurposed as a beer cellar below the dining room and drawing room.
The mansion is built of ashlar faced with Totternhoe stone with a castellated parapet and low-pitched slate roofs. It features a variety of casement windows including pointed arch and ogee lights typical of the early Gothic Revival style. Before his untimely death, James Wyatt completed the north-facing front entrance and the central block, containing the state apartments and western courtyards. Jeffry Wyatt added private apartment blocks at an angle to the main building and an orangery with a turret in 1815–17. The main entrance features a projecting porte-cochère and octagonal turrets, added by Jeffry Wyatt c.1814.
The house has housed the Ashridge Executive Education program, of Hult International Business School, since 1959.
