Designed under the guidance of Sir Christopher Wren, this graceful country house epitomises the Georgian 'Age of Elegance'. Its beautifully restored interior presents Robert Adam at his very best. The contents of the house, collected on the 'Grand Tour' include a rare set of Gobelins Tapestries, classical statuary and some of Chippendale's finest furniture.
