Touch House, dating back to the 15th century, is situated in 3750 acres of beautiful woodland and farmland. The house has been considerably extended and improved over the centuries.

Passing beneath the little pediment immediately above the front doorway, you enter the front hall with the bottom of the stair framed by stone pillars, and beyond these you look up to the cupola with the staircase curling up to it. On the left of the hall there is the Morning Room which, like all the ground floor rooms, is of a similar height to the hall.

On ascending the stairs to the first floor, the plasterwork on the ceiling in the drawing room and next door in the Dining Room and in the Music Room on the top floor are the work of Thomas Clayton. The timber for the panelling in these rooms came from the Baltic ports of Gottenburg and Riga.
