Kneesworth House School, Grade II listed school building in Bassingbourn cum Kneesworth, England.
The Edwardian mansion stands amid extensive parkland, featuring red-brick construction and traditional architectural elements characteristic of early 20th-century design.
Built in the 16th century as a nine-room house by William Bolnest, the property became the residence of the Nightingale family from 1597 until 1814.
The building represents the evolution of British educational facilities, transitioning from an aristocratic residence to a specialized educational institution in 1948.
Located 22.3 miles southwest of Cambridge, the school maintains its original structural features while operating as an educational establishment under preservation guidelines.
The mansion underwent a complete reconstruction in 1904 under Sydney Holland, transforming from its Tudor origins into the current Edwardian architectural style.
