Boreham House, Grade I listed mansion in Boreham, England.

Boreham House stands within 35 acres of landscaped grounds, featuring grand carriage entrances and architectural elements designed by James Gibbs in 1728.

The mansion was built between 1728 and 1733 for Benjamin Hoare, a banker, before being purchased by industrialist Henry Ford in 1931.

The property reflects the architectural preferences of wealthy English families in the 18th century through its Scottish-influenced design and formal gardens.

The estate functioned as the main training center for Ford Tractor Operation in Europe from 1952, following its transition into an educational facility.

Thomas Hooper added the distinctive carriage entrances in 1812, while Edward Shepherd, creator of Shepherd Market in Mayfair, supervised the construction.
