The villa was built circa 1728 to plans by the Earl of Burlington in the Palladian style which he introduced to London.
Above the low ground floor there is a tall upper storey with a colonnaded portico reached by a double staircase at either side.
The interior is by W. Kent. Features include the octagonal domed central hall and the gallery which has a frescoed ceiling and is in white and gold.
The house is open from 10am until 5pm on Wednesday to Sunday from 24 March until 31 October.
