Upton House (National Trust)

Upton House, purchased in 1927 by the 2nd Viscount Bearsted, has been remodelled and is ready to welcome its new owners, staff and guests. This year Upton invites you to a special ‘at home’ with Lord and Lady Bearsted. See the modern age arrive with the Bearsteds’ renovations; discover how they created a made-to-measure home to showcase a world-class art and porcelain collection, including works by Bosch, Stubbs and Canaletto. Every ideal home needs a spectacular garden. Lady Bearsted’s passion for plants is revealed with spring bulbs, herbaceous planting and kitchen garden – all reflected in the Mirror Pool.
