Colworth House, Grade II* listed manor estate in Sharnbrook, England
Located on the edge of Sharnbrook village, this 18th-century mansion features multiple laboratory buildings surrounding a central grassed park within extensive grounds.
Mark Antonie initiated the construction of the current house in 1715, establishing the foundation for what would become a significant research facility centuries later.
The estate evolved from a private residence to become one of Unilever's six global research centers, employing hundreds of scientists and researchers.
The property currently operates as Colworth Science Park, housing both Unilever research facilities and various small scientific companies within its premises.
Archaeological excavations revealed a Roman villa and farm adjacent to the estate, documented in a 2009 Channel 4 Time Team television program.
