Country houses

Country houses are large, often grand residences located in rural areas, typically associated with the British aristocracy or wealthy landowners. Historically, they served as seasonal retreats from city life and were often set on expansive estates with gardens and farmland. These homes reflect various architectural styles and are characterized by spacious rooms, elegant furnishings, and picturesque landscapes. Many country houses today are preserved as historical sites and are open to the public, showcasing heritage, art, and culture, while others remain private homes or serve as venues for events and hospitality.
