A manor house dating back to 1582, it houses a unique collection of Old Master Paintings from the 16th and 17th century, displayed in the 72 foot long Picture Gallery.

Once you have finished touring the house, take a stroll in the Capability Brown designed gardens and grounds, which include a 13-acre lake, Gothic Bath House and lily pond garden.
