Encombe House, English country house in Corfe Castle, England.

The stone building features a U-shaped design with two stories, including ashlar walls, slate roofs, and decorative Tuscan columns at the entrance.

Initially granted to Shaftesbury Abbey in 948 by King Eadred, the estate changed ownership through centuries until its reconstruction in 1735.

The Morning Room contains an ornamental paneled ceiling and marble fireplaces that demonstrate the architectural preferences of English nobility.

The Grade II listed building stands on a 2,000-acre estate, located at coordinates 50.6068, -2.07975, about one mile from the Jurassic Coast.

Only six families have owned this property in 1,100 years, with the current owners purchasing the estate for £20 million in 2009.

Location: Corfe Castle
