Explore the architectural marvel of Ickworth House

Ickworth House was created by the eccentric Earl of Bristol, with its central rotunda and curved corridors, to house his superb collection of paintings by Titian, Gainsborough, Reynolds and Velasquez, and a magnificent Georgian silver collection. In the drawing room are two fine Portugese pier glasses in heavy gilt Rococo. The house is surrounded by an Italian garden, an orangery and temple rose garden, and set in a Capability Brown park with woodland walks, deer enclosure, vineyard, church, canal and lake.

Ten of the Best Georgian Stately Homes by Rebecca Winward

"You know you're in for a treat when the blurb states that a property was built by an eccentric aristocrat, and Ickworth doesn't disappoint. An architectural wonder, boasting an imposing central rotunda and curved corridors, this striking edifice was the original party pad for the 4th Earl of Bristol, who was a complete Italophile. Highlights include a magnificent Georgian silver collection, an upstairs/downstairs exhibition, and a walled garden, complete with its own vineyard."
