Cranborne Manor, Grade I listed country house in Cranborne, England
The three-story manor features ashlar walls, rubble construction, flint details, and tiled roofs with prominent brick chimney stacks across its E-shaped layout.
Originally constructed between 1207 and 1208 as a royal hunting lodge for King John, the manor underwent substantial remodeling in the early 17th century.
The interior displays numerous 17th-century architectural elements, including ornate paneling, stone doorways, and a vaulted undercroft with Doric pilasters.
The estate encompasses 3,000 acres of farmland and 1,700 acres of woodland, maintaining both arable fields and riverside meadows for cattle grazing.
The gardens contain La Source, a water mobile created by sculptor Angela Conner, set among formal gardens and kitchen plots open to public viewing.
