Quantock Lodge, Victorian country house in Over Stowey, England
The Quantock Lodge features Gothic revival architecture constructed from Cockercombe tuff stone, with multiple reception rooms overlooking formal gardens and parkland.
Built in the 1860s by Lord Taunton, the mansion served as a summer residence and art gallery before becoming a sanatorium in 1920 and later a school until 1999.
The mansion incorporates Italian-style reception rooms with brass chandeliers and decorative plasterwork ceilings, reflecting Victorian architectural preferences.
The property currently accommodates up to 130 residents and provides spaces for functions, meetings, training courses, and house parties throughout the year.
Memorial trees planted in the estate grounds commemorate Henry Thomas Stanley, who died during the Second Boer War while serving his country.
