From the Wikipedia article
Woolbeding House is an 18th-century country house in Woolbeding, near Midhurst, West Sussex, England. It is a Grade I listed building. It was probably built by Sir Richard Mill, 5th Baronet between 1711 and 1760 and was originally of a quadrangular plan with an open courtyard in the middle. The courtyard was later roofed over. The house is built of coursed Hythe sandstone in 2 storeys with an attic and has a 7-bay south-facing frontage with 5 hipped dormers. A series of gardens, the Woolbeding Gardens, have been created in the grounds of the estate and they are open to the public.

Background
History
The place Woolbeding, meaning "Wulfbeard's people", was recorded in Domesday Book of 1086, and it had many owners including the de Wolbedinge family and the Earls of Arundel. The current house was likely to have been built by Sir Richard Mill between 1711 and 1760 as a quadrangle-shaped building with an open courtyard, although parts of the house including the two chimney breasts and part of walling may be from the earlier building. Sainsbury and Grimshaw started a project to renovate the house and create a series of gardens. The gardens have been open to the public since 2011.
