In 1933 Stephen Courtauld - millionaire, war veteran and patron of the arts - chose Eltham as the setting for a breathtaking new home.
He built a modern, fashionable residence around the Great Hall of a medieval Royal Palace.
The result is a masterpiece of Art Deco design which dramatically shows the glamour and allure of 1930s style. The unique interiors are complemented by a stunning mixture of formal and informal moated gardens.
