Beaumanor Hall, Victorian country house in Woodhouse, England
The two-story mansion features Derbyshire stone construction, marble floors, and spans across 34 acres of maintained countryside in Leicestershire.
Between 1842 and 1848, architect William Railton and builder George Bridgart constructed Beaumanor Hall for the Herrick family at a cost of £37,000.
During World War II, the hall operated as an intelligence center with secret listening stations that communicated directly with Bletchley Park.
The property now functions as a conference center offering accommodation, wedding venues, and educational programs managed by Leicestershire County Council.
Military intelligence operations at the hall utilized camouflaged huts designed to look like regular farm buildings to prevent detection during wartime.
