Higham Park, Grade II* listed house in Bekesbourne-with-Patrixbourne, England.
The neoclassical mansion features a Roman cement facade with a central projection supported by four Ionic columns and ten wide steps.
Built in 1768 by architect Isaac Baugh, the estate traces its origins to 1320 when Edward II granted the lands to the De Hegham family.
The property became a center for early motorsport innovation when Louis Zborowski constructed racing cars there, including the famous Chitty Bang Bang.
The building maintains its original glazing bars, featuring moulded architrave surrounds on all windows and a round-headed doorcase with traceried fanlight.
During World War II, the mansion transformed into a hospital and continued serving as a gynecology unit until 1981.
