AS Charlotte has said..Majestic.
The areas accessible to the public are sumptuous in many respects..well laid out and spacially elegant..enchanting planting schemes, beautiful walkways be they along herbaceous borders or a Cornus lined path..there is a sense of gracious wealth everywhere and it's delightful to experience.

A truly majestic garden! Many interesting features including a topiary sundial that spells out: "Light and shade by turn but love always"; many evergreen trees; fountains and borders. There's something here for all!

'Mixed Style' sounds rather like an insult. Do you just mean 'Victorian'
