The Vyne is a warm red-bricked Tudor mansion built in the 16th century for Lord Sandy, Henry VIII's Lord Chamberlain, which later passed into the Chute family who cared for the house and estate for 300 years. It was remodelled to its present shape in the mid-17th century with the addition of a classical portico and summerhouse, the first of their kind in England. Exquisite Majolica tiles and Renaissance stained glass are to be found in the Tudor chapel and elaborately carved Tudor panelling in the oak gallery. The house is packed with little treasures collected by the Chute family including furniture, tapestries and paintings to Murano glass and silk wall hangings.
The house is set in 13 acres of beautiful relaxing gardens which extend from the formal summerhouse and stone gallery gardens with fine herbaceous borders to the more natural wild garden and fruit trees of the orchard and walled garden. Nestled in the Hampshire countryside, The Vyne Estate also features acres of woodland with trails that pass by ancient trees, a medieval fishpond and the park pale. The wetlands attract an abundance of bird life. The rolling parkland grazed by cattle perfects the lakeside setting.
