Ashbray House is the Leicestershire residence of Mr. Barnaby Palmer, Lady Francesca Palmer, Miss Jemima Palmer, and Miss Cecily Palmer. It was constructed between 1685 and 1688 by Samuel Horlock, 3rd Baron Horlock, in the Carolean style. The house remained in the family until the death of the 5th Baron in 1758, when the Baron's impoverished son-in-law sold it to Mr. Robert Palmer, father of Barnaby.
The house's grounds are extensive, with a 1000-acre park, first enclosed in 1690. The outbuildings include a stable block, an orangery, and a small church. There are several gardens and a handful of follies, though these are not nearly as prevalent at Ashbray House as they are at nearby Raulings Park.
Ashbray House is portrayed by Belton House.
