Burnham Westgate Hall, Georgian country house in Burnham Market, England.

The three-story mansion features gault brick walls, stone decorations, and a symmetrical facade spanning 15,870 square feet of living space.

Between 1783 and 1785, architect John Soane transformed the existing Polstede Hall into Burnham Westgate Hall for Thomas Pitt, who became Baron Camelford.

The interior contains original architectural elements, including an Imperial staircase with cantilevered stone treads and detailed Georgian plasterwork throughout the rooms.

Located 2 miles south of the Norfolk coast, the Grade II* listed building now functions as a retirement residence while maintaining its historical features.

From 1933 to 1945, the Royal British Legion's Women's Section used the hall as a training center for young women pursuing careers in domestic service.
