Inside

The three main reception rooms are facing south at first floor level above what was a billiard room and a warren of smaller rooms. The interior is purely classical – greek revival – with no attempt was ever made to Indianise it.  The octagonal room is to the north of the house, built to resemble a tent. Two separate apartments are located in one of the wings.

Outside

Laid out by Thomas Daniell and Humphrey Repton, the water gardens surrounding the house are exquisite. A temple to the Sun God Surya stands by the spring which feeds seven pools joined by a stream flowing between stepping stones under an Indian Bridge adorned with sacred bulls.

Down the drive, Under the early yellow leaves of oaks:

One lodge is Tudor, one in the Indian style. The bridge, the waterfall, the Temple Pool. And there they burst on us, the onion domes, Chajjahs and chattris made of amber stone: Home of the Oaks exotic Sezincote.
