Stanwell Place, Manor house in Stanwell, Great Britain.

The two-storey manor house featured cement-rendered walls, a low-pitched roof behind a parapet, and a later-added west wing of red brick construction.

Sir John Gibbons, who owned the manorial rights from 1754 to 1933, constructed the final version of the house in the early nineteenth century.

During World War II, the property served as a meeting location for SHAEF Commanders and high-ranking US officials for strategic planning sessions.

The estate included over 300 acres of parkland after Sir John Gibbons enclosed Borough Field in 1771, though the size decreased throughout subsequent years.

King Faisal II of Iraq purchased the property and 22 acres after Sir John Watson Gibson's death, but following the king's assassination, the house faced demolition.
