Cound Hall, Baroque country house in Cound, England.
The red brick mansion features tall slender windows across two main floors, with stone decorations and fluted Corinthian pilasters on the exterior walls.
Edward Cressett commissioned architect John Prince of Shrewsbury to construct this grand residence between 1703 and 1704 in the English countryside.
The residence incorporates architectural elements from Greenwich Hospital, with giant order pilasters and carved capitals adorning the main facades.
Located along the A458 road, the house underwent extensive restoration in 1996 after standing empty for 15 years and splitting into rental apartments.
Romance novelist Barbara Cartland resided in this mansion during her marriage to Alexander McCorquodale in the early 1930s.
