The Arents House or Brangwyn Museum is a fine, late-18th-century townhouse located opposite the coach-house at the entrance to a picturesque garden.

The coach-house contains old carriages and sledges. The ground floor of the Arents House is home to the Lace Museum, with its extensive and varied collection of old needlepoint, bobbin and mixed lace.

Most of the exhibits were produced at Flemish lace-making centres like Bruges, Mechelen (Malines) and Brussels, but foreign lace from places like France and Venice also features in the collection.

A series of fascinating paintings illustrates the use of lace as a costume decoration over the years.
The first floor of the building is given over to the work of Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956), a versatile artist of British nationality, but born in Bruges. His Art Nouveau and Art Deco carpets, pottery and furniture are grouped thematically, as are his engravings, watercolours, drawings and paintings.
