Mounton House was his most ambitious project and he rebuilt it in the contemporary Arts and Crafts style for which he is best known. He added formal water and wilderness gardens and employed 12 full time gardeners to maintain them. In 2002, it was converted into 17 dwellings and the garden was left to decay. Since its conversion, the current owners have systematically bought up units and now own the whole house. Taking a most scholarly and sensitive approach, they have restored Tipping’s interiors and overseen a remarkable re-creation of his gardens. Arne Maynard Garden Design was appointed in 2016 and work is still going on.

Indeed, a significant section of the gardens pre-dated the idea of the house. Once Tipping had chosen the Chepstow area for his weekend escape from London, he initially restored Mathern Palace and lived there with his mother from 1897 until her death in 1911.
