Pax Hill, English country house in Bentley, Hampshire, England
Positioned at the end of a half-mile drive off the A31 road, Pax Hill features extensive gardens, two summer houses, and a tennis court on its grounds.
The Baden-Powell family purchased the property, then named Blackacre, in 1918 and transformed it into their residence for over twenty years until 1939.
The estate became a center for Scout and Guide activities, with groups regularly camping along both sides of the main driveway during the Baden-Powell era.
Since 1988, Pax Hill operates as a residential nursing home, providing care services in the village of Bentley, five miles southwest of Farnham.
Robert Baden-Powell personally designed the west wing addition and created a bathroom frieze depicting fish species found in the River Wey.
