Believed to have been designed by William Wilkins, the architect of London's National Gallery, Stour Provost Manor is a late-Georgian country house of rare architectural pedigree nestled within landscaped grounds above the River Stour. Recently renovated, the classical facade gives way to interiors of breathtaking scale and grandeur: soaring sash windows, ornate fireplaces and intricate cornicing frame a sequence of elegant reception rooms, whilst the kitchen features handcrafted cabinetry in burr elm, maple and cherry wood. Outside, the grounds unfold into a croquet lawn, swimming pool, tennis court and kitchen garden. Panoramas of the river and meadows enchant at every turn, belying its well-connected setting. Gillingham station connects to London Waterloo in around two hours, with Bryanston, Sherborne and Port Regis among the schools within easy reach.
