Brief description

"Unlike many of its contemporaries, Farnborough Hall and its landscaped gardens have experienced little alteration in the last 200 years and they remain largely as William Holbech left them. The house has been described by historians as a "small but exquisite" country house with the original Roman busts and plasterwork being exemplary, but with the main attraction to visitors being the Sanderson Miller landscape and gardens, including the Rose Garden and Orangery (since demolished) that was designed by Henry Hakewill in the early 19th century as part of extensive remodelling of the gardens at the time.

The entrance opens straight into the Italianate hall. The walls are adorned with busts of Roman emperors set into oval niches and the panelled ceiling is stuccoed with rococo motifs. The dining room on the south front was especially designed to display works by Canaletto and Giovanni Paolo Panini. The original works are long gone, being replaced by copies. The drawing room has panels of elaborate stuccowork featuring scrolls, shells, fruit and flowers; these serve as a framework for more Italian works of art. A stucco garland of fruit and flowers encircles the skylight above the staircase hall."
