| Originally a half-timbered Jacobean farmhouse, Ascott was bought in 1876 by the de Rothschild family and considerably transformed and enlarged. It now houses a quite exceptional collection of fine paintings, oriental porcelain and English and French furniture. Its extensive gardens are a mixture of the formal and natural, containing specimen trees and shrubs, as well as a herbaceous walk, lily pond, Dutch garden and remarkable topiary sundial. | | | | Max. 2 groups per day | | | | Group Visits Average length of visit: 1hr 30mins.
