Chequers, Official country residence in Ellesborough, GB
The manor house features red brick walls, multiple chimneys, and large windows spread across its Tudor-style architectural design in Buckinghamshire countryside.
The estate transformed from a private manor house to the Prime Minister's official country residence through the Chequers Estate Act of 1917.
Prime Ministers use this Grade I listed building for international diplomatic meetings and as a weekend retreat from their London responsibilities.
The estate remains closed to public access due to security measures, but visitors can view it from The Ridgeway walking trail.
Winston Churchill delivered several wartime radio broadcasts from this location during the Second World War, utilizing its secluded position.
