Ascott House, Country house museum in Aylesbury Vale, England.
The Victorian house, designed by architect George Devey, stands within landscaped parkland featuring formal gardens, hedged paths, and classical sculptures throughout the grounds.
The National Trust acquired the estate in 1949, ensuring the preservation of this Grade II* listed building and its collections for future generations to explore.
The interior displays numerous artworks, French furniture pieces, and Oriental porcelain collections gathered by generations of the Rothschild family during their ownership.
The house opens from March through October, with guided tours available on weekdays and self-guided visits permitted during weekends and bank holidays.
Each room maintains period-specific arrangements, including the original Victorian kitchen with copper pots, cooking implements, and authentic household management documents.
