The interior of Canons Ashby House is noted for its [[Tudor architecture|Elizabethan]] wall paintings and its [[Jacobean architecture|Jacobean]] plasterwork. It has remained essentially unchanged since 1710 and is presented as it was during the time of [[Dryden baronets|Sir Henry Edward Leigh Dryden]] (1818–1899), a Victorian antiquary with an interest in history.
The house sits in the midst of a formal garden with colourful [[herbaceous border]]s, an [[orchard]] featuring varieties of fruit trees from the 16th century, terraces, walls and gate piers from 1710.{{sfn|Mawrey|2015|p=42}} There is also the remains of a medieval [[Canons Ashby Priory|priory church]] (from which the house gets its name).{{sfn|Garnett|2001|p=2}}
