Experience the epitome of English elegance at English Countryside Estate.

Set across 5,000 acres of meticulously preserved parkland, ancient woodlands, and serene lakes, English Countryside Estate is a private sanctuary that seamlessly blends heritage, luxury, and sustainability.

English Countryside Estate: A Heritage of Grandeur

At its heart stands a reimagined Victorian masterpiece—a Jacobean manor adorned with Italianate towers and intricate stonework. The Hall features twelve uniquely designed bedrooms, ten of which are en-suite. Guests can luxuriate in four-poster beds, soak in clawfoot tubs, and admire sweeping views of the estate, all complemented by the attentive service of dedicated household staff.

Private Members’ Club: A Sanctuary of Sustainable Luxury

Nestled beside the estate is an exclusive private members’ club and eco-conscious retreat. Here, guests can immerse themselves in nature through wild swimming, paddleboarding, and guided safaris across a pioneering 1,000-acre rewilding project. Accommodations range from architect-designed cabins and cozy farm cottages to eight boutique hotel rooms in the Clubhouse. The Clubhouse restaurant offers seasonal menus showcasing estate-grown and locally sourced ingredients.

Culinary Excellence Rooted in Provenance

Dining at English Countryside Estate is a celebration of sustainability and local flavor. Menus are crafted by chefs using ingredients foraged, grown, or sourced from the estate and its surroundings—including fresh fish from the nearby coast. Guests can savor meals in a variety of settings within the Hall, from the candlelit ballroom and historic palm house to the intimate family dining room and elegant Winter Garden. Al fresco dining is also available on the Clubhouse terrace.

Activities: Engaging with Nature and Heritage

The estate offers a wealth of activities that immerse guests in its natural beauty and historic charm. From wild swimming in a two-mile-long lake and relaxing in the 22-meter outdoor heated pool to guided hikes, foraging walks, and nature safaris, there is something for every interest. Traditional countryside pursuits such as horse riding and shooting are also available, with stables ready to accommodate guests’ horses or provide mounts for exploration.

Gardens: A Living Tapestry of History and Horticulture

Spanning 12 acres, the estate’s gardens are a celebration of horticultural artistry. Guests can wander through the historic yew hedge maze planted in 1846, explore vibrant herbaceous borders in the walled garden, and admire the glasshouses. The grounds also feature exotic plant collections, a lush jungle garden, and a thriving kitchen garden that supplies fresh produce to the estate’s kitchens.

Exclusive Events and Celebrations

English Countryside Estate is an exceptional venue for intimate gatherings, weddings, and corporate retreats. With private and exclusive hire options, the estate’s expert team of butlers and household staff ensures impeccable service. Tailored experiences—from private historical tours and gardening workshops to bespoke dining events in the Hall or under the open sky—create unforgettable memories.

Commitment to Conservation and Sustainability

The estate is leading a bold rewilding initiative to return over 1,000 acres of farmland to natural wildland. This transformative project seeks to reintroduce native species and foster biodiversity, offering guests the rare opportunity to witness and engage in conservation efforts firsthand.
