Standen is a fine show-piece of the late 19th-century Arts & Crafts Movement, featuring rich William Morris textiles and wallpapers, complemented by contemporary furniture, ceramics and pictures of the time.

The recently re-furbished Conservatory has been replanted with mimosa, maidenhair and hare’s-foot ferns, bird of paradise plants and Norfolk Island pine together with other plants identified from Mrs Beale’s Diaries and photographs of the Conservatory from the early 1900s.

Standen boasts a beautiful hillside garden with wild flowers, azaleas, rhododendrons, roses, ferns, an orchard and croquet lawn. There are also woodland walks on the estate.
