Putteridge Bury, English country house in Offley, England.

The mansion features traditional architectural elements with reflective pools and extensive yew hedges surrounding the main structure on its landscaped grounds.

Sir Ernest George and Alfred Yeats completed the construction of Putteridge Bury in 1911, designing it in a style similar to Chequers mansion.

King George V and Queen Mary frequented the estate, where they planted an oak tree during their December 1926 visit with the Prince of Wales.

The building currently operates as part of the University of Bedfordshire, providing spaces for educational activities and conferences throughout the academic year.

Edwin Lutyens redesigned the grounds while Gertrude Jekyll, an early Victorian female gardener, created the planting schemes for the estate gardens.
