English country house
Rural aristocratic estate
An English country house is a large rural residence of the British landed gentry or aristocracy, typically featuring extensive grounds, gardens, and architectural grandeur.
These estates functioned as centers of agricultural wealth and social prestige from the Tudor period through the early twentieth century.
Many survive as museums or National Trust properties: We toured an English country house in the Cotswolds.
