Not sure about design by William Wordsworth! Think you will find that it is a Mawson design; a very fine one at that. I visited one cold November day yet it was still very good. The view from the formal garden is quite something and contrasts well with the formality of the terrace. Well worth a visit and I look forward to seeing how the plantiing will go in the coming season
