The princess died just as it was being finished. The parkland is shut off from the world by Rosevale Woods, for it is built in a massive clearing at the edge. The walls are pale gold sandstone, and the Greco-Roman roof is supported by dozens of grand marble columns. It has many steps leading to the enormous carved oaken front doors, and there is a mile long gravel drive leading to the palace. Greek and Roman gods decorate the pillars and roof, and towards the back of the mansion is a smaller domed roof on which a golden angel sits as a weather dial. The grounds are stately and sumptous, well kept and some of the finest in the whole of Europe.It is now the property of the Duke and Duchess Armande, of Devonshire. 41 1,139 on Feb 26, 2008, 8:10pm by Comtesse in Old acquaintences Lowvale House (9 sub-boards) Asmall path leads up to the oak front dorr of Lowvale, and either side are many flowers and shrubberies, for the late Mrs. Trevelyan was very fond of flowers and gardening.

Milton Court (12 sub-boards) Considered one of the great 18th-century houses in England, Milton Court is a fitting monument and pendant to a man who recently inherited the estate, the Comte de Penthièvre. In the past fifty years, the former owners demolished the rear section of the dwelling, while leaving the hall range and wings intact. In its place, grouped round an open courtyard, was built a new kitchen, scullery and a range of servants' rooms, including a steward's parlour, a housekeeper's room and a strong room, together with family rooms and a staircase. A faint Jacobean trim was added to the front, with a balcony on each of the wings and cresting above them and over the centre of the house. The latter bears the arms of the new master. On the west front the Jacobean tower was remodelled, its square turrets being replaced by round ones, while the three bays immediately to its left may also have been replaced. The front of the mansion is covered in vast amounts of ivy, making the structure look as though it has grown out of the lush surroundings. 64 1,734 on Feb 23, 2008, 4:16pm by Comtesse in Snatched from my arms ...

It has a hay and clay roof and a slightly tilting water wheel to the left of the front door. There is a window between the wheel and the entrance of smeared glass and the door itself is made up of several boards attached to one another by a plank board with a copper door pull. To the right of the door is another windowed wall and above that is yet another window to the loft... All look the same as the first. Out further near the street stands a broken wood fence and a dirty cobble stone walkway. More prairie grass than can fit in a football Field lines the inside of the fenced yard with the appearance of a garden in the back and an out house to the side of that. 2 30 on May 3, 2007, 4:20pm by Audrey Linn in Where Have You Been?

The house itself is not the most beautiful, but it is what is inside that will capture beauty. 1 3 on Apr 1, 2007, 9:54am by Eponine in Inspirations *Duchess* Info Center Forum Statistics Total Topics: 773   -   Total Posts: 12,276 Last Updated Topic: Across the Sea by Duchess (Apr 1, 2008, 6:39pm) View the 10 most recent posts of this forum.
