Great House, Grade II* listed building in Colyton, England
The Great House features traditional flint external walls, oak paneling from 1600, leaded windows, and flagstone floors within its U-shaped structure.
Built in the early 17th century by the Yonge family, prominent wool merchants, the house later became part of the estate belonging to the Yonge baronets.
The residence contains several 17th-century arched stone chimneypieces and displays a Stuart kings' coat of arms above one of the fireplaces.
Located on South Street leading to Lyme Regis, the house spans over 4,000 square feet and includes modern amenities such as an electric Aga in the kitchen.
During the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685, the Duke of Monmouth reportedly found shelter within Great House while evading capture by royal forces.
