A sensational Palladian house
Set in 140 acres of parkland. Superb views up to the Lambourn Downs. Three lakes beside the house complete this very attractive landscape. The hall, in the style of Sir John Soane, gives a strong impression of entering an Italian palazzo with beautiful ornate plaster ceilings, columns and figurines. In complete contrast the inner hall becomes the classical English country house, the most exciting feature being the Flying Staircase winding its way up, totally unsupported. A fine collection of art, furniture, clocks, glass and needlework, together with the architecture, evoke admiration for the craftsmanship that has existed in Britain over the centuries. 12 acres of gardens. Suitable for films, wedding receptions, functions and `fun days'. Opening Times: Coach parties only, strictly by appointment
