Windlestone Hall, English country house in Windlestone, England
The two-story mansion features a twelve-bay balustraded frontage and a Doric colonnade extending across nine bays of the ground floor.
Built in 1835 by architect Ignatius Bonomi, the Grade II listed building served as a prisoner of war camp during World War II.
The estate was the birthplace of Anthony Eden, who later became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the 1950s.
The property includes 400 acres of parkland, with plans to convert the clock tower stables into commercial spaces with offices and retail units.
The clock tower mechanism, commissioned in 1817, predates the main hall reconstruction and bears similarities to Wallington Hall in Northumberland.
