Port Lympne Mansion, English country house in Lympne, United Kingdom.
The mansion features black and white marble floors, blue marble columns, and a barrel-vaulted ceiling throughout its ground floor reception rooms.
Sir Philip Sassoon commissioned architect Herbert Baker to construct Port Lympne in 1914, following the Cape Dutch architectural style on a hill overlooking Romney Marsh.
Rex Whistler created the Tent Room with striped designs and urban scenes, while Josep Maria Sert painted the drawing room with war-themed murals.
The mansion functions as a four-star hotel within Port Lympne Reserve, offering accommodations named after notable historical visitors who stayed at the estate.
A natural spring water system pumps water 300 feet upward through the property to maintain irrigation during summer months.
