Owletts, English country house in Cobham, England
The red-brick building features symmetrical design with two storeys, sliding sash windows, and dormer windows characteristic of Kentish architecture.
Constructed in 1683 for Bonham Hayes, a successful yeoman farmer, Owletts later became the residence of renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker.
The interior contains Carolean plasterwork ceilings from 1684, particularly above the main staircase, representing period craftsmanship.
The National Trust opens the property to visitors at least two days per year, allowing access to selected rooms and garden areas.
The garden includes a bird bath created from Corinthian capitals recovered from the Bank of England during Baker's restoration work.
