Aintree, located at the back of the courtyard, was once a stable and is now a beautiful country house. The front door opens into the large, grand drawing room, with pictures, 18th century engravings and walls stencilled by Jocasta Innes. A wood art nouveau sideboard is full of toys and board games, and another treat for the children is the den under the stairs, with its dressing-up clothes and more toys. Opening out of this room, and facing west through the French doors to its own trellised arbour, is the oak beamed kitchen and dining room, floored in pale apricot terracotta. A flight of stairs, festooned with spy prints of Victorian and Edwardian worthies, heads up from the drawing room to the gallery. On the right is the master bedroom, big, airy and dominated by a magnificent mahogany four-poster bed. To the left of the staircase are the two twin rooms and a bathroom.
