Hestercombe House, Grade II* listed country house in West Monkton, England.
The estate extends across 100 acres of land, featuring formal gardens, terraces, and woodland areas designed according to specific landscape principles.
The Saxon king Centwine granted the estate to Glastonbury Abbey in 682, leading to centuries of changes in ownership through English history.
The gardens showcase the collaboration between architect Edwin Lutyens and garden designer Gertrude Jekyll, reflecting early 20th-century design principles.
Visitors can explore the house, gardens, and visitor center daily from 10 AM, with dedicated parking facilities and an on-site restaurant.
The property includes a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its population of Lesser Horseshoe Bats inhabiting specific areas.
