Knowlton Court, Grade I listed English country house in Goodnestone, United Kingdom

The red brick manor house features a Queen Anne style front façade and stands within 70 hectares of landscaped parkland and formal gardens.

Built in 1585 for Sir Thomas Peyton, the estate belonged to Bishop Odo of Bayeux during the time of the Domesday Book in the 11th century.

The gardens, designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield in 1904, include terraces, raised walks with battlemented yew hedges, and brick step sequences.

The estate functions as a wedding venue and includes holiday accommodations in additional buildings across the grounds, with guided tours available.

The property contains a lodge designed by Edwin Landseer Lutyens in 1912 and maintains a walled garden with a central monkey-puzzle tree.
