Friar Park, Gothic Revival country house in Henley-on-Thames, England
The east-facing hillside estate spans 12 hectares, featuring a two-story house with a square tower overlooking formal terraces and landscaped gardens.
Construction started in 1889 when Frank Crisp merged two small estates, building the main residence near the original Friar Park house location.
The Grade II listed building represents Victorian architectural heritage through its Flamboyant Gothic design and extensive ornamental gardens.
The entrance gates lead from Henley Market Place through iron carriage gates flanked by brick walls with stone details.
The property contains Britain's largest artificial rock garden, constructed with 23,000 tons of rock and featuring 4,000 alpine plant varieties.
