Knightshayes pt. 2 - The House

I think the ceilings impressed me the most. Almost every room had a unique one -








The Boudoir

Bedroom with wall frieze decoration

A 17th century linen press

Ornate Pottery

The embroidered bedspread on the mahogany four-poster bed in The Bedroom



The Billiard Room
