18th-century country house
set in extensive parkland.
This beautiful Palladian mansion was built in
1776–83 by John Carr for Francis Sykes, who
had made his fortune in India.
The interior is notable for its original
delicate plasterwork and elegant staircase, as
well as for the unusual Octagon Room.
The house fell on hard times in the early part
of the last century, but was rescued by Lord
and Lady Iliffe, who restored it and filled it
with fine pictures and furniture.
