Tigbourne Court, Arts and Crafts villa in Wormley, England.

The three-story mansion features massive coupled chimneys, curved screen walls, and a central triple-gabled range constructed from Bargate stone blocks with brick details.

Edwin Lutyens designed Tigbourne Court between 1899 and 1901 for businessman Edgar Horne, who served as chairman of the Prudential Assurance Company.

The building combines elements of 17th-century vernacular architecture with classical motifs, displaying a Doric portico supported by paired columns and end pilasters.

Located one mile south of Witley at coordinates 51.1325 latitude and -0.634 longitude, the Grade I listed building stands within the civil parish of Hambledon.

Actress Maggie Smith owned the property from 1968 to 1981, during which time the house was partitioned to accommodate her family's living arrangements.
