Description

Get a taste of country house life as you step into the home of a 1930s' millionaire with internationally important works by artists such as Hogarth, Stubbs, Canaletto, Brueghel and El Greco.

Lord Bearsted's extensive porcelain collection includes 18th-century Sevres porcelain, Chelsea and Derby figures. Upton has all the elements of a millionaire's country home - with swimming pool, squash court and a glamorous Art Deco interior in Lady Bearsted's bathroom.

The garden planting was principally designed by Kitty Lloyd-Jones with Lady Bearsted in the 1930s.

The sweeping lawn gives way to a dramatic series of terraces and herbaceous borders, which descend to a kitchen garden and tranquil water garden. Upton is also home to the National Collection of Asters.
