English House Style

In our imaginings, English country house style is defined by coats of wallpaper and an abundance of aged art and antiques. Besides castles or official government residences, there is perhaps no group of homes with more easily accessible history—regional books recount their transformations, and in the case of many, if not all, information on centuries of renovations and inhabitants is collected on Wikipedia for all to access. Below, we’ve chosen a few of the best English country houses from the AD archive, from the most historically notable to those with the memorable decor schemes.
