In 1813, the garden was created as one of the finest privately owned gardens in Europe. Since then, the garden has largely maintained its original design. Adjoining householders gain complete access to the garden, are entitled to membership of the Fitzwilliam Square Association, and have voting rights in all matters affecting the square.

Householders, who hold a key to the gardens, have exclusive use of the square’s facilities to host events for special occasions, such as weddings, birthday parties, and marquees. Two tennis courts are available to residents and the square is a perfect place for a family with young children.

The current owners of the property are downsizing and plan to live abroad. As a result, much of the content of the house will be sold at Christie’s in London, including a collection of stunning paintings, French, English and Irish period furniture, and objets d’art. However, the purchaser of the property will be afforded the first opportunity to purchase any of the contents.
