About this property
The fine landscape garden was created in the mid 18th century by Sir Francis Dashwood, founder of the Dilettanti Society and the Hellfire Club. The house is among the most theatrical and Italianate in England, its façades formed as classical temples. The interior has Palmyrene ceilings and decoration, with pictures, furniture and sculpture dating from the time of Sir Francis. The lavishly decorated house has featured in many films and television series, including The Importance of Being Earnest, Vanity Fair, Little Dorrit and the award-winning Cranford Chronicles.
