Cavendish Hall
Oct. 12th, 2014 04:05 pmIt is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single bear in possession of a good human, must be in want of a house.
I'd like this one, please!
Cavendish Hall in Suffolk was built in 1810, so is very Austenesque, and also quite picturesque, if photographed from the right angle.
One can take a refreshing turn about the shrubbery...
...which is also a lovely spot for sunbathing:
Landmark Trust holidays are also a good way to make new friends - this is Isenbard the rat, who enjoyed exploring with me:
The other side of this rather impressive window is hidden in a toilet under the stairs...
Other people seem to have been as taken with the outside aspects of the house as I, since there were several drawings and paintings of the house itself on the walls:
I particularly liked this one:
The inside was as lovely as the outside. Here was where most of the game-playing took place, amidst marble pillars and an array of floor to ceiling windows:
One could find peaceful solitude in the library with a cosy fire:
Upstairs, a beautifully appointed circular landing led to almost as many bathrooms as bedrooms:
And the bedrooms themselves were spacious and comfortable:
I would have to say this is one of my favourite Landmark Trust properties visited so far. It felt very welcoming and the extent of the grounds and surrounding countryside made it a very restful venue for a week away from the bustle of London.
