Speedwell Castle, Georgian house in Brewood, Great Britain.
The three-story red brick structure features a symmetrical facade with canted bays, ogee-headed windows, and decorative plasterwork throughout its exterior design.
Built in the mid-18th century, the house received its name after William Rock funded its construction using winnings from betting on a horse called Speedwell.
The building incorporates elements of Batty Langley Gothic architecture, reflecting the period's interest in combining Gothic forms with classical proportions.
Located at 1 Bargate Street at the corner of Brewood's former marketplace, the Grade II listed building now contains residential apartments.
The interior preserves a Chinese Chippendale staircase with fretted balustrade and original features including pedimented doorcases and decorative plaster ceilings.
