A new-build staircase, lift and bridge walkway all in steel provide access from the upper yard A separate building to the east provides power and heat to the visitor centre, using a combination of solar thermal panels, photovoltaic cells and a biomass boiler. Park The house sits within of parkland, which the Trust gained from the auction and retained around the property to preserve the house within its environment.

The centre entrance bay on the west front towards the kitchen garden breaks forward as a portico, with
