Mompesson House, History museum in Cathedral Close, Salisbury, England.
The two-story house exhibits pale brown Chilmark stone architecture with an oak staircase and Georgian plasterwork throughout its rooms and corridors.
Sir Thomas Mompesson initiated the construction in the late 1600s, and his son Charles completed the building in 1701, adding decorative cartouches above the front door.
The residence contains the Turnbull collection of 18th-century drinking glasses and Bessemer-Wright ceramics, displaying the refined tastes of English society.
The National Trust maintains the property since 1975, offering guided tours through the furnished rooms while volunteer stewards provide information in each chamber.
The house served as a filming location for the 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, featuring its period-accurate interior decor.
