Woodhouse, English country house in West Felton, England.
The Woodhouse estate encompasses 1,500 acres of land and contains multiple structures, including a separate gatehouse known as Woodhouse Lodge.
Architect Robert Mylne constructed the house in 1773-74 for William Mostyn Owen, who inherited the estate from his cousin John Lloyd Owen.
Between 1828 and 1833, naturalist Charles Darwin made regular visits to Woodhouse during his early research and documentation period.
The Grade II* listed building status ensures protection and preservation of the architectural features and historical elements of the property.
The estate hosted the 1987 wedding reception of Boris Johnson and Allegra Mostyn-Owen, connecting the house to contemporary British political history.
