country house
Gentleman's landed residence
A country house is a large residence in a rural setting, typically associated with wealthy families and landed estates.
The term suggests a secondary home away from the city, often with substantial grounds: They spent summers at the country house in Hampshire.
In British usage especially, it evokes aristocratic architecture and lifestyle—the sort of place with a name rather than an address.
