The Deanery, Grade I listed country house in Sonning, England.
The Deanery features high surrounding walls, extensive gardens designed following the Arts and Crafts movement principles, and stands next to St Andrew's Church.
Built between 1899 and 1901 by architect Edwin Lutyens for Edward Hudson, founder of Country Life magazine, as a demonstration of English residential architecture.
The property combines the architectural excellence of Lutyens with gardens created by Gertrude Jekyll, representing the peak of English domestic design at the start of 1900s.
The gardens, spanning approximately one hectare, remain private but can be observed from the nearby church tower during operating hours.
The property belongs to Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and has received substantial extensions on its northern section while maintaining its original character.
