Buckland House, Georgian country house in Buckland, England.
Buckland House is a Georgian manor with nine bays arranged across three stories, connected by narrow galleries to two flanking wings. The rooms overlook landscaped grounds that include formal gardens and extensive parkland surrounding the property.
Architect John Wood the Younger designed the house in 1757 for Sir Robert Throckmorton, built on the site of an earlier manor. The previous building was later repurposed as stables when the new residence was completed.
Queen Mary stored valuable artifacts at Buckland House during World War II, while Winston Churchill visited during the Fitzgerald family ownership period.
The house contains nineteen bedrooms and several reception rooms suited for different purposes. The entire property spreads across extensive grounds that include a deer park accessible to visitors.
The garden designed by Richard Woods features artificial lakes created to mirror a section of the River Thames. A waterfall was added to replicate the natural water movement of the river itself.
