The spectacular 18th-century interiors of this house comprise one of Britain's most complete examples of Robert Adam's work.

In 1761 the founders of Child's Bank commissioned Adam to transform a crumbling Tudor mansion into this elegant neo-classical villa. It became their house in the country, created for entertainment and to impress their friends and business associates.

The magnificent 16th-century stables survive largely intact. The surrounding parkland is complete with pleasure grounds and neo-classical garden buildings.

What's new in 2006: Exciting new contemporary art exhibition programme in the Jersey Galleries.

This property is owned by The National Trust.
