Luton Hoo, Grade I listed country house in Hyde, England
The mansion extends across 1,000 acres (405 hectares) with formal gardens, two lakes, and an octagonal walled garden dating from the 1760s, all set within landscaped parkland.
Robert Adam designed this residence in 1767, while Capability Brown expanded the grounds from 300 to 1,200 acres (121 to 486 hectares), incorporating extensive water features throughout the landscape.
The property houses period rooms showcasing architectural elements from both Robert Adam's original design and later Second Empire style modifications that reflect evolving tastes in British aristocratic residences.
Located 32 miles (51 kilometers) from London and 2 miles (3 kilometers) from Luton Airport, the property offers convenient access through Junction 10 of the M1 motorway for visitors traveling by car.
During World War II, the property served as Eastern Command Headquarters, with its grounds used for military tank testing operations that left permanent marks on the landscape still visible today.
