A gorgeous Georgian house with Serpentine park and terraced garden.
Nestling in `Capability' Brown landscaped parkland, Aske has been the family seat of the Dundas family since 1763. This Georgian treasure house boasts exquisite 18th century furniture, paintings and porcelain, including work by Robert Adam, Chippendale, Gainsborough, Raeburn and Meissen. Aske is an architectural kaleidoscope. There is the original 13th century pele tower and remodelled Jacobean tower. John Carr's stable block, built in 1765, was later converted into a chapel with Italianate interior. A coach house with clock tower houses the family's carriage. There are follies and a lake as well as the new three tier terraced garden. Opening Times: All year: for groups (15+) by appointment only    |
