Benham Park, Country mansion in Speen, England.

The three-story neoclassical residence features nine bays, stone construction, and a tetrastyle Ionic portico overlooking 130 acres of landscaped grounds.

Built between 1774 and 1775, architect Henry Holland and landscape designer Capability Brown created the estate for William Craven, 6th Baron Craven.

The Circular Hall displays the grandeur of Georgian architecture through its large niches, detailed plasterwork, and a prominent glazed dome.

The 28,000-square-foot property received approval in 2013 for conversion into a wellness center with medical facilities and 100 guest rooms.

The grounds feature relocated 17th-century Grade I listed stone gate piers from Hamstead Marshall and connect to the River Kennet through artificial drains.
