The day begins on a quiet London street as an executive vehicle eases away from the traffic and the countryside opens up: clipped hedgerows give way to broad parkland and the first glimpse of limestone and ash trees around Blenheim Palace. Walk into a place where carved stone meets expansive lawns and the pond mirrors the façade; wherever you stand the estate seems to watch you back.
