Greenway, English country house and museum in Kingswear, England
Greenway exhibits Georgian architectural elements with symmetrical design, tall windows, and decorative moldings across its white stone exterior walls.
The 18th-century estate gained prominence when crime writer Agatha Christie purchased it in 1938 and made it her summer residence until 1976.
The house contains Christie family collections, including first edition books, archaeological artifacts from Middle Eastern expeditions, and Georgian silverware.
The National Trust manages guided tours through the mansion daily from March to October, with advance booking required for parking spaces.
Five murder mystery novels written by Agatha Christie feature specific locations within the estate, including the boathouse and garden paths.
