Explore a former Tudor powerhouse turned 17th-century family home, set in gardens, woodlands and wetlands.
Vyne Road, Sherborne St John, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG24 9HL
Once an important Tudor palace, this atmospheric mansion has some illustrious connections, from Henry VIII to Jane Austen. Outside, acres of wildlife-rich gardens, meadows and woods create a wonderful space for relaxation and exploration, while the natural play space gives children freedom to let their imaginations take them on fantasy adventures. Sweeping lawns offer lakeside picnicking, and a short stroll reveals a cosy bird hide overlooking the water meadows.
