Combe Sydenham, Manor house in Stogumber, England.
The manor house features an L-shaped structure with a prominent tower at its inner angle and a dated porch from 1580.
First mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, the estate was held by William de Moyon, the first feudal baron of Dunster.
The Sydenham family occupied the manor from the 15th century until 1693, with Elizabeth Sydenham's engagement to Admiral Sir Francis Drake marking a notable period.
The 500-acre estate contains commercial woodlands with public access paths, allowing visitors to explore the grounds throughout the year.
The Court Room displays a modern barrel ceiling with thin ribs, while the west wing houses the Restoration Chamber with a fragmentary 17th-century frieze.
