Godmersham Park, Georgian manor house in Godmersham, United Kingdom.
The red brick building features seven bays across two stories, with the central three sections recessed into the main facade of the structure.
Thomas May constructed Godmersham Park in 1732, replacing an earlier Elizabethan structure known as Ford House on the same location.
Jane Austen visited her brother Edward at Godmersham Park between 1798 and 1813, using the house as inspiration for her novel Mansfield Park.
The Association of British Dispensing Opticians operates a training college at Godmersham Park, with public access during National Gardens open days.
The house appears as an illustration on the Bank of England £10 note issued in 2017, commemorating its connection to Jane Austen.
