Pynes House, English country house in Upton Pyne, United Kingdom.

The four-story brick building covers 21,000 square feet and features Portland stone details, slate roofs, and four large chimney stacks.

Hugh Stafford constructed Pynes House between 1700 and 1725, which later passed to the Northcote family through marriage in 1732.

Walter Stafford Northcote, 2nd Earl of Iddesleigh, stated that the house served as the model for Barton Park in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility.

The property functions as an event venue with 12 bedrooms, extensive gardens, and 37 acres of grounds northwest of Exeter.

Sebastian Emmett composed a poem about the house and its gardens following the 1789 renovations, reflecting the national character of the period.
