A look inside Britain's biggest private country residence

It is a year since the Wentworth Woodhouse (interior pictured bottom ), hidden in the South Yorkshire countryside just outside Rotherham, was bought by the Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust for £7 million. This modest purchase price - the cost of a flat in parts of central London - is just the beginning of a mammoth investment needed by the trust as it works to reverse decades of decay. Trust chief executive Sarah McLeod believes that the total bill could be between £150 and £200 million. This is because the task she faces is epic. Wentworth Woodhouse's 606ft facade (pictured centre) is wider than Buckingham Palace - a building it stood in for during the filming of Oscar-nominated movie Darkest Hour - and its floor area is about the same as the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow.
