At the heart of the house lies the magnificent Great Hall – a masterpiece of Jacobean craftsmanship, where richly carved oak panelling and a finely moulded ceiling create what historian Nicholas Kingsley once described as “one of the most perfect early-17th-century interiors in the country”.
Beyond this grand centrepiece, the formal drawing room lies bathed in sun, the French doors opening to a south-facing terrace overlooking the parterre garden. Walls clad in muted rose velvet rise to meet ornate cornicing, while delicate chandeliers illuminate silk upholstery and marble-topped furniture. The library continues the theme – its decorative ceiling panels and fabric-clad walls create a tranquil space, lined with well-loved volumes and antique cabinetry – a secret silver screen a treasure to uncover for cinephiles.
