Ten Georgian houses

Home to the Croft family for centuries, this impressive manor house features fine Georgian interiors. The castle is surrounded by 1,500 acres of woods, farm and parkland within which visitors can find an Iron Age hill fort, while inside you'll find a number of 'atmosphere rooms' including an impressive saloon.

Built for George IV as a seaside retreat, Brighton's iconic Royal Pavilion is one of the most iconic buildings of the late-Georgian period. Inspired by Chinese and Indian architecture and home to one of Britain's finest collections of chinoiserie, the pavilion is filled with astonishing colours and examples of superb craftsmanship.

Built for the 18th-century socialite Henrietta Howard as a retreat from crowded London, this beautiful Palladian villa is set in gorgeous riverside parkland near Richmond. Its interiors have been recreated with original Georgian designs, and are home to a fine collection of early Georgian paintings.

The Georgian era was a golden age of urban development, and nowhere was that clearer than at the Royal Crescent in Bath. Designed by the architect John Wood, the Georgian stone facade remains virtually unchanged from the 1760s. No 1 is now a museum of Georgian life, recreating a fashionable 18th-century townhouse with a splendidly equipped kitchen.

Set in the heart of Edinburgh's historic New Town, 7 Charlotte Square is often considered Robert Adam's crowning glory. It was restored to its original condition by the National Trust for Scotland in the early 1970s, and features fine collections of furniture and paintings.

Built on the site of a 12th-century priory among hundreds of acres of parkland, Nostell was home to the Winn family for over 300 years. Today the 18th-century building with Adam interiors is furnished with mostly original pieces, including an unparalleled collection of Chippendale furniture and one of the country's finest private libraries.

Known as 'the palace of palaces', Osterley was built by the Child family as a place to entertain and impress their friends and clients. Designed by the ubiquitous Robert Adam, the Childs' urban retreat appears as it would have done when they lived there in the 1780s and the gardens have been restored to their 18th-century grandeur.

This spectacular Neoclassical mansion takes visitors on a trip back in time to the 1760s with an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture and original furnishings. Created for the Curzon family, who have lived on the Kedleston estate since the 12th century, it was designed as a personal museum and venue for entertaining.

A classical architectural masterpiece, it was originally the winter home of Viscount Fairfax and his daughter Anne and during the 1760s it hosted many glittering engagements of 'polite society'. Its richly decorated interiors were designed by York's most distinguished 18th-century architect, John Carr, who was commissioned by the Viscount to create a place where he and his Anne could enjoy the bleak months in comfort and grandeur.

Instantly recognisable as the exterior of the family home in the Netflix series 'Bridgerton', albeit without the custom made wisteria, this Georgian villa has been home to military officers, royals, aristocrats and the official residence of the royally appointed Rangers of Greenwich Park. Those in the Ranger's role have included Queen Caroline, Queen Victoria's third son Prince Arthur, and former Prime Minister George Hamilton-Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen. Today the English Heritage owned property houses the Wernher Collection, one of the greatest private collections of art ever assembled in Europe.
