Brief description of site

Hughenden Manor has mid-19th century formal gardens and woodland walks covering 2 hectares. The gardens are situated within a park which at its most extensive covered about 60 hectares, including woodland and agricultural land.

Brief history of site

An existing farmhouse was extended from 1737 onwards. A small park was added, probably during the early-19th century. The estate was bought by Benjamin Disraeli in 1847. He considerably expanded the park and had formal gardens laid out to the south of the house.
