Aqualate Hall originally dates back to the early-17th century.  John Nash was commissioned to rebuild the hall in the gothic style in the late-18th century.  In 1910 the hall was destroyed by fire.  The current hall was built between 1927 and 1930 and was designed by William Douglas Caroe.

The deer park dates back to the 17th century.  Sir John Boughey laid out the landscape park in the early-19th century.  The two lodges were built in about 1835 and farm buildings in about 1860.
