Braxted Park, Queen Anne country house in Great Braxted, England.
The red brick mansion stands at the end of a long drive within a 2000-acre parkland, bordered by two substantial lakes with abundant wildlife.
The estate, documented as a deer park in 1342, changed ownership through several Essex families before Thomas Darcy acquired it from the Countess of Pembroke in 1650.
The Du Cane family, descended from Huguenot nobles, expanded the estate after 1745 through their connections with the Bank of England and East India Company.
The estate includes accommodations in the Garden Cottage, event spaces in the Orangery and Dining Room, plus a Victorian school building within the grounds.
The property contains All Saints' Church, constructed around 1115 and restored in the 18th century, making it older than the main house itself.
