Flete House, Grade I listed country house in Holbeton, England
The stone mansion features traditional Tudor architecture with Gothic elements, castellations, and large windows overlooking Dartmoor and surrounding landscapes.
The Manor of Flete traces back to Saxon times, with the Damarell family holding ownership from 1066 until the reign of Edward III.
The estate represents English architectural evolution, combining sixteenth-century construction with eighteenth-century additions and Victorian Gothic modifications by Richard Norman Shaw.
The former country house now contains 29 residential apartments for individuals over 55 years old, with shared access to the library and billiard room.
During World War II, Flete House operated as a maternity hospital for Plymouth residents, recording its first birth on July 14, 1941.
