Stately Homes: Breamore House
Houses created for this series have been put together in the ‘Stately Homes Collected’ collection.
Breamore House is an Elizabethan Manor completed in 1583 set above the picturesque village of Breamore, overlooking the Avon Valley on the edge of the New Forest in the United Kingdom.
Breamore is a perfect example of an E-shaped Elizabethan manor house. The man responsible for building Breamore was William Dodington, who was married to the sister of Elizabeth I’s spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham. The Dodingtons remained at Breamore until 1748 when the house became the family home of Edward Hulse, doctor to Queen Anne, George I, and George II. It remains the Hulse family home to this day.
The house boasts a collection of 17th and 18th-century portraits, period furniture, porcelain, and fine art. In the grounds is the Mizmaze, a turf maze of medieval origin.
Just outside the main house is a striking tower that looks at first glance like a church tower, complete with a cupola. It is, in fact, a water tower, made when the Victorian Hulse’s brought running water into the house via a gravity-fed water system.

I’ve tried to make this asset as beautiful as the real building and therefore the geometry tri count is high and the textures large. Most of the texture elements have been created specifically for this asset in order for full control over the final look.
I will be adding new houses as and when I am able, so keep checking for updates.
If you want to suggest a UK stately home to add to the series feel free to leave a comment and I will see if it ‘takes my fancy’.
Please try this asset out and if there are any problems let me know in the comments below.
If you really, really like my assets please consider making a donation. I’m unable to work because of ill health and do this because I love the positive feedback I get from so many people.
