Townhill Park House, Grade II listed country house in Southampton, England
The two-story Italianate building features large sash windows, ornate stucco details, and an L-shaped layout with a north-facing five-bay elevation.
After Henry VIII granted the Manor of Townhill to Sir William Paulet in 1536, the property evolved from Townhill Farm into a refined country estate.
The gardens, designed by Gertrude Jekyll, incorporated specific plant selections including rhododendrons, azaleas, and camellias to create formal garden spaces.
The Gregg School now occupies the building, while the gardens open to visitors on selected days throughout the year through Friends of Townhill Park Gardens.
The property once included an airfield where aviator Gustav Hamel performed aerial demonstrations in 1913, marking early aviation history in Southampton.
