Hillersdon House, Grade II* listed Georgian country house in Cullompton, England.
The red brick mansion features an H-shaped layout with Portland stone dressing, Tuscan columns, and a central hall beneath a hipped slate roof.
William Charles Grant commissioned theatre architect Samuel Beazley to construct Hillersdon House in 1848, replacing an earlier manor that stood on the grounds.
The mansion gained social recognition in the 1890s when William John Alexander Grant, an Arctic photographer, organized high-society gatherings for London's elite.
The property includes multiple reception rooms that connect to form a large entertainment space, complemented by surrounding gardens with ponds and a deer park.
After a particularly grand party, young gentlemen who jumped into the estate lake were cleaned up using baths filled with champagne.
