Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is located in the Aylesbury Vale, 6.6 miles (10.6 km) west of Aylesbury. The Grade I listed house was built in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French château between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898) as a weekend residence for grand entertaining and as a setting for his collection. The last member of the Rothschild family to own Waddesdon was James de Rothschild (1878–1957). He bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust. It is now managed by the Rothschild Foundation chaired by Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild. It is one of the National Trust's most visited properties, with over 467,000 visitors in 2017,[1] with 157,000 visiting the house in 2015.[2] Waddesdon Manor won Visit England's Large Visitor Attraction of the Year category in 2017

Property description
Historical Note
This Grade I Listed house is of considerable architectural importance. The vendor has carried out a great deal of research into the house’s history and found that the house was built by John Seed in 1594. Richard Talboys acquired Doughton Manor in c.1623 and carried out alteration thereafter, hence his initials and the date of 1641 appearing in the porch and on the gate piers. The house was later restored again in 1933. Doughton Manor has appeared a number of times in Country Life magazine, notably on the cover in May 2012.
For all its charm and antiquity, Doughton Manor is a very liveable house. The rooms are conveniently arranged for both entertaining and modern family living. A large dining hall immediately gives a great feeling of space. The panelled drawing room has a huge carved stone fireplace, whilst on the opposite side of the hall is a smaller cosy sitting room. The kitchen/breakfast room is an impressive 31 feet long and has a huge open fireplace. On the first floor are five bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms (three of which are en suite). The second floor is approached via two separate staircases and has a number of secondary bedrooms and attic rooms.
Doughton is a pretty, small hamlet that lies about 1½ miles to the west of Tetbury, in the heart of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Tetbury has a good range of everyday shops and services, as well as a number of specialist shops, and other local towns include Cirencester, Malmesbury and Nailsworth. The main regional centres are Bath, Bristol, Swindon, Gloucester and Cheltenham, all of which are within daily commuting distance. Kemble Station (London Paddington 70 minutes approx) is about 9 miles and Swindon Station (Paddington 55 minutes) is about 16 miles. Junction 16 of the M4 at Swindon is about 15 miles and Junction 17 is about 9 miles.
Ample local sporting opportunities including a golf course at Westonbirt, polo at Westonbirt and Cirencester Park, and racing at Cheltenham and Bath. Gloucestershire is noted for its schools. Private schools within daily driving distance include Westonbirt, Beaudesert Park and
the Cheltenham Colleges.
The house is approached down a gravel driveway leading to a parking area next to The Coach House. This charming traditional building previously had consent (in 2008) to create a first floor annexe. On the far side of the Manor is a magnificent traditional stone barn, Listed Grade II, which provides useful storage. On either side of the drive are grass paddocks. At the front of the house is a walled garden, approached through Listed gate piers. The main walled garden lies to the south of the house. It has a central paved path and lawns, edged by rose borders. There is a pretty raised stone summerhouse or loggia in one corner. On the east side of the house is a former swimming pool.

A grade I listed building. Kelmscott Manor was originally built in the late 16th century by local farmer, Thomas Turner. His grandson, also Thomas extended the house in the mid 17th century. At this time it was known as Lower House. A descendant, James Turner, purchased the lordship of the manor in 1864 and called the house, Kelmscott Manor. He died in 1870, the last of the Turner family to live there.
In 1871 William Morris and his pre-Raphaelite friend and colleague, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, rented the property as a country home and retreat.
Rossetti left in 1873 but Morris lived there, and also in London, until his death in 1896. His daughter Jane purchased the house in 1913 and, following her death in 1914, her younger sister May lived there until her death in 1938.
Under May's will the house was bequeathed to the University of Oxford who passed it to the Society of Antiquarians of London in 1962. They continue to own and manage the house to this day. From August 2019 it will be closed for 18 months to allow extensive upgrading of the visitor facilities.
