Nuneham House, English country house in Nuneham Courtenay, England
The Palladian villa stands on elevated ground near the River Thames, featuring symmetrical wings and classical architectural elements throughout its limestone structure.
Earl Harcourt commissioned architect Stiff Leadbetter to construct this residence in 1757, replacing an earlier manor house and relocating the entire village.
The interior spaces display the work of James Stuart, who incorporated refined decorative elements following the neoclassical principles of the 18th century.
The property includes 470 hectares of parkland with formal gardens, an arboretum, and multiple walking paths accessible through the main entrance from A423 road.
During World War II, the Royal Air Force used the house as a photographic reconnaissance interpretation center, analyzing aerial surveillance images.
