The extensive lawns are well maintained but green-fingered residents are more than welcome to become involved in the planting and cultivating of any additional plants and shrubs.

Denne Park House is full of history. The records of the manor of Denne date back to the mid 10th century but no evidence of any medieval predecessor to the current property has been traced to date.

The Dukes of Norfolk owned the estate until 1572 when it was forfeited to the Crown because Thomas Howard, the fourth Duke was executed for plotting against Elizabeth I to bring Mary Queen of Scots to power. Between 1572 and 1605 the estate changed hands a number of times until being bought by Sir Thomas Eversfield for £5,500 in 1605.

He then built the current Denne Park House. The manor, said to be 1,200 acres in 1818, remained in the hands of the Eversfields until 1947. At that time, the estate comprising 593 acres was broken up and over the next three years the main property was divided up into the apartments that remain today.
