Uppark
Uppark sits high on the South Downs with sweeping views to the sea, a refined late 17th-century house that was painstakingly restored after a catastrophic fire in 1989. Its principal rooms have an extraordinary Georgian purity — the result of that meticulous restoration — and the basement dairy and servants' quarters tell a quieter story, including the childhood connection of the young H.G. Wells.
- Exquisite Georgian interiors restored after fire
- Views to the Solent from the South Downs
- H.G. Wells's childhood connection
Best for Georgian art and architecture set against downland views.
