Wiscombe Park, Grade II* listed manor in Southleigh, England

The two-storey country house features plastered stone rubble walls, slate roofs, and Gothic elements including buttresses, pinnacles, and an embattled parapet.

Built in 1826 by Joseph Power on land previously owned by Otterton Priory, the estate was granted to Sir William Bonville during Henry III's reign.

The front parlor contains an Italian marble chimneypiece that was displayed at the Great Exhibition of 1851, representing fine craftsmanship of the era.

The property maintains its architectural integrity through regular preservation efforts and stands as an example of early 19th-century Gothic country house design.

Since 1958, the parkland has functioned as a competitive hillclimb course, hosting motorsport events throughout the year.
