Cell Park, English country house and Grade II listed park in Markyate, England.
Cell Park consists of a rectangular brick structure with corner turrets and linked service buildings that form an enclosed quadrangle design pattern.
The property dates from 1539 when Humphrey Bourchier constructed it on the land of a former Benedictine nunnery that was dissolved in 1537.
The interior design combines various architectural periods, featuring a Jacobean oak staircase and plaster ceilings with detailed decorative moldings.
The 79-acre property includes designated parking areas, informational signs, and maintained pathways for visitors to explore the grounds and gardens.
A concealed staircase behind a fireplace connects to Lady Katherine Ferrers, who reportedly used it for nighttime activities as a 17th-century highwaywoman.
