Abbeystead House, Victorian country estate in Over Wyresdale, England.
The sandstone rubble construction with slate roofs forms an L-shaped structure that partially encloses a courtyard with irregular five-bay north front.
Built from 1885 to 1887 for the 4th Earl of Sefton, the house was designed by architects John Douglas and Daniel Fordham in Elizabethan style.
The entrance hall contains two fireplaces with paneled overmantels, including one that displays an intricate carving of the Molyneux arms.
The estate spans 18,000 acres of Lancashire countryside and includes two additional Grade II listed buildings: Lancaster Lodge and York Lodge.
The estate holds a shooting record from August 12, 1915, when eight shooters collected 2,929 grouse birds in a single day.
