Sutton Court, Manor house in Stowey-Sutton, England.
The building features squared sandstone rubble walls with freestone dressings, incorporating a central fourteenth-century pele tower and two connected ranges.
The St Loe family expanded the property during the sixteenth century, with Sir William and Bess of Hardwick adding a northeast wing in 1558.
The manor served as a filming location for the BBC educational series Dark Towers during the 1980s, contributing to children's television programming.
The property currently contains private apartments within communal grounds that include a trout lake and tennis court for residents' use.
The estate transformed into a ferme ornée during the late eighteenth century, combining agricultural function with ornamental garden design.
