  3. Maybe a long shot, but does anyone know of an English country house, preferably older than Victorian, which has floor plans available online?

    Maybe a long shot, but does anyone know of an English country house, preferably older than Victorian, which has floor plans available online? Must be big, preferably a bit sprawling. It's for a story.

    I was gonna use Mamhead House (pictured below) but the only floor plan available online is a tiny unreadable Pinterest image, which is wild considering it was up for sale at one point.

      @astronomerritt

      Maybe check recent real estate listings?

      I am aware of some American authors browsing listings here for "rich people houses".

          @michael_w_busch I've tried this, but the sorts of houses I'm talking about are either in the hands of the nobility or the National Trust, and therefore don't go up for sale very often. I found two, and neither of them are quite right.

            @Emmacox Oooh, yeah, despite being a bit too young (most of it is apparently late-Victorian) this is pretty close to what I was thinking. The floor plan's tough to read, but I've seen worse. Thanks! Adding it to the very scant inspiration folder.

              @astronomerritt this one is near me and was up for sale for ยฃ10m relatively recently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bramshill_House

              Floorplans on there, but looking closer it might not have things labelled...

                @astronomerritt Maybe this: Strawberry Hill? Or not enough โ€žcountryโ€œ (it was a summer villa). Classic example of (pre-Victorian) Gothic Revival.

                  @phil_browne Oooh, prodigy houses are maybe a bit much for what I was thinking, although honestly if the floor plan was labelled I might have added it to my little pile anyway. It's definitely imposing!
