The gardens are stunning with masses of roses, modern style plant groupings and modern Corton steel arbors. The interior and contents of the house are interesting and the staff are very knowledgeable and eager to advise. However for the price it's a bit disappointing. I think at this price point it's expensive and I would suggest £7 and it's worthwhile. There's not a huge amount to see and I'm sure there was more content years ago.

The Rangers House was closed when we went there. We were not allowed around the front but we did have access to the back and the garden. The garden smelled so good with all of the flowers . It was quiet even with all of the people walking through. It was a very pretty place to sit and catch your breathe or to just take in the scenery.

This is one of those hidden gems that require a lot of luck as the place only opens monthly or sometimes one a week. It's also the place of a very famous historical tv show 😉 The interior is swashed with oppulance and a lot of great canvases as well a collection of ivory carvings and other amazing artifacts. The place has a rich history and the volunteers within the interior will assist you with their tidbits of knowledge. Really great visit if you can get in, and English Heritage owns it so if you're a member it's even better as it's free.

For all Bridgerton fans out there, you can just walk up to the front and take photos only the exterior was used for the show, there was only a few people also taking photos when we arrived. The inside is closed to the public when we visited, and you have to buy tickets, it’s operated by the English Heritage.

This English Heritage site has a very nice art collection and gardens, though limited hours and few extra amenities. It’s a unique property as the Wernher collection has no direct affiliation with Ranger’s House- it was more of a matching of a house without a collection to display, and a collection without a home, so they came together here. Inside, there is one room upstairs with information about the house and collection upstairs, then 6 small art rooms upstairs by category and 5 medium rooms downstairs that were a mix of artwork and home furnishings. All-in-all we spent about 25 minutes upstairs and 10 downstairs. Gardens in the back are superb - very lovely. Don’t miss these even though few to no markings from the front of the house indicating they’re there. The exterior is the Bridgerton home in the Netflix series so a little bit of recent filming history. Hours are very limited. It says by appointment on the in person sign, but in 2025 was open on Thursdays and Saturdays from late July to early September. No cafe or full shop onsite, though a couple of books for sale in reception. Clean toilets in the basement (winding path to get there). Small car park in the front, or buses stop relatively nearby.
