Rooks Nest House, Grade I listed house in Stevenage, England.
The red brick residence features oak paneled doors, inglenook fireplaces, bay windows, and three reception rooms spread across multiple floors.
The Howard family maintained ownership of Rooks Nest House for over three centuries until economic difficulties forced its sale in 1882.
The house gained recognition as the setting that inspired E.M. Forster's novel Howards End, written after spending his childhood years there.
The property encompasses 4.5 acres of formal gardens, multiple outbuildings, including stables, a wood store, and a large garage.
Composer Elizabeth Poston purchased the house in 1914 and maintained correspondence with E.M. Forster throughout her lifetime.
