Burghley is still a family home, lived in by Miranda and Orlando Rock and their three children. Miranda is a direct descendant of the first Lord Burghley and looks after the House on behalf of the The Burghley House Preservation Trust, a charitable trust, set up by her grandfather and which is dedicated to the maintenance of the House and its contents for future generations.

Burghley is at the centre of an agricultural estate comprising 10,000 acres. The income for the upkeep of the House is derived from agricultural and property rentals as well as visitor admission charges and events.
