Wilbury House, Grade I listed country house in Newton Tony, England

The Neo-Palladian mansion features a two-story structure with pale yellow lime rendered exterior and classical architectural elements throughout its design.

William Benson constructed the original single-story villa around 1710, making it England's first Neo-Inigo-Jones house according to architectural historian Pevsner.

The estate gained recognition as the filming location for 'Pendersleigh' in the 1987 film 'Maurice' directed by James Ivory.

While the house remains private property, special guided tours provide opportunities to explore the architectural features and historical elements.

An octagonal summerhouse with a domed roof, originally used for ice storage, stands northeast of the main building.
