Kingston Russell House, Grade I listed mansion in Kingston Russell, Dorset, England.
The stone mansion features a white Georgian facade from 1730, with multiple rooms spread across its substantial architectural structure.
The Russell family received the estate from King John or Henry III, with John Russell serving as a household knight for King Richard I.
The dining room contains rare eighteenth-century Chinese wallpaper that was transferred from Felix Hall in Essex to enhance its interior decoration.
The house remains a private residence since 1984, maintained by Dr. H. H. J. Carter and Miss T. Silkstone near the village of Long Bredy.
Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy, who served in Lord Nelson's navy, was born at Kingston Russell House in 1769 during the Michel family ownership.
