Though the Gates HDR
County Durham had already begun to acquire parts of the property when in 1997 it determined to undertake the preservation of the property. A commissioned study in 1999 provided a detailed estimate of the expenses of restoration and also gave indication of the property's significance, which led to the Register of Parks and Gardens rating the property a II*. With assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the County purchased additional land from the gardens in 2001 and launched a restoration scheme to bring the garden back to its former condition. In addition, the garden includes a visitor centre, cafe, toilets, exhibition, classroom and office
