Pythouse, Grade II* listed country house in West Tisbury, England.
The classical mansion features an Ionic portico, formal lawns separated by a ha-ha, and expansive surrounding parkland for grazing livestock.
The land belonged to the Pyt family from 1225 until 1651 when they sold it due to fines for supporting Royalists during the Civil War.
The current structure, built in 1725, underwent modifications in 1805 by John Benett with architect Thomas Hopper to incorporate Palladian architectural elements.
While the main house remains private, visitors can access the adjacent Pythouse Kitchen Garden, which includes a restaurant, bar, and productive gardens.
The property operated as a retirement home for 46 years under the Country Houses Association before returning to private ownership in 2004.
