stately home
Aristocrat's country residence
A stately home is a large, grand residence of historical significance, typically an aristocratic country house open to the public.
The term is primarily British: We toured several stately homes in the Cotswolds.
These estates often feature extensive grounds, art collections, and centuries of family history preserved for visitors.
