The Abbey, Aston Abbotts, English country house in Aston Abbotts, England.
The Abbey features eight reception rooms, eight bedrooms, an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, formal gardens, lake, parkland, and two-bedroom gate lodge.
The property originated in the 15th century and belonged to St Albans Abbey during medieval times until Henry VIII confiscated it during the Dissolution.
During World War II from 1940 to 1945, the Abbey served as residence for Czechoslovak President Edvard Beneš while in exile from his country.
The property includes a classic Shaker-designed country kitchen, high-ceiling living spaces with ornate coving, and wood-paneled drawing rooms for daily activities.
The garden lake contains two islands named after HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, ships from the Ross expedition, commemorating former owner Sir James Clark Ross.
