Fowlescombe Manor, Manor house in Ugborough, England
The four-tower front elevation of Fowlescombe Manor stands among trees and gardens in the Devon countryside, with sections covered in thick ivy growth.
Built in 1537 by Sir Thomas Fowell, the manor remained a significant estate until 1865 when John King left the property due to maintenance costs.
Literary connections link Fowlescombe Manor to Arthur Conan Doyle's 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' as one potential inspiration for Baskerville Hall.
The estate operates as an organic farm spanning 300 acres, producing specialty meats through sustainable farming methods and regenerative agriculture.
A local tale describes a kennel-master who disappeared at the manor's dog kennels, with only his boots discovered the following morning.
