Kirtlington Park, Oxfordshire’s second largest mansion after Blenheim Palace, and available to rent for £28,000 a week. Guests at the mid-18th century mansion have included Prince Charles and Ivana Trump, Darcy Bussell got married there, Elizabeth Taylor tried to buy it, and the entire contents of the dining room, from the plasterwork to the marble fireplace, were shipped to New York in the 1920s to be displayed in the Met Museum.One of the “finest country houses”, however, says Jess Simpson, is Farleigh Wallop, a 4,000-acre Hampshire estate that has been in the Wallop family’s hands for nearly 600 years.
