Dunham Massey country house in Cheshire has a wonderful looking library. Imagine bein able to explore this at length. (Though I have no doubt a lot of the titles will be boring theological tracts from times gone by.)
And there are, of course, other collections of books scattered around the house like those in this cabinet (by Chippendale?).
I volunteer at Dunham and am so glad that you also love the place. The delightful satinwood bookcase are Gillow, acquired about 1790. Hope your health allows you to visit often again.
