Blackborough House, Country house in Blackborough, England.

The Grade II listed mansion spans 16,000 square feet across three floors, featuring eight bedrooms and six living areas within its Italianate architecture.

Built in 1838 by George Wyndham, the fourth Earl of Egremont, the house later divided into two residences to accommodate both the Earl and his cousin.

The property transformed through various roles, from a school to a Quaker training center during World War II, and later functioned as a youth hostel.

Located five miles from the M5 motorway and eight miles from Tiverton Parkway station, the house provides convenient access to London within two hours by train.

The mansion contains a central courtyard that previously featured a three-story hall with a glass dome ceiling, now open to the elements.
