Northcourt Manor, Manor house in Shorwell, Isle of Wight, England.
Northcourt Manor stands as a large Jacobean residence with mullioned windows, canted bays, and fifteen acres of gardens recognized by English Heritage.
Built in 1615 by Sir John Leigh, the Isle of Wight's deputy governor, the manor remained incomplete until his son Barnaby finished the construction after 1629.
The manor maintains connections to literature through visits from Victorian poet Algernon Swinburne, who spent time with his aunt's family at the estate.
The manor functions as accommodation with two guest rooms, requiring minimum two-night stays and located two and a half miles from the nearest beach.
Three natural springs emerge within the property grounds, including the Shor Well, which gave the village of Shorwell its name.
