Pylewell Park  is a Grade II* listed country house and historic parkland near Lymington in Hampshire, on the Solent edge of the New Forest.

It is a 17th‑century manor house set in an estate of about 147 hectares, with around 17 hectares of registered formal and ornamental gardens and a landscape park stretching to the coast. Both the house and the designed landscape are listed (house Grade II*, gardens and park Grade II* on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens).

The house was first built for the Worsley family by 1677, on or replacing an earlier Jacobean lodge; it was then enlarged and altered in stages in the later 18th and 19th centuries.

 

Interesting facts...

The knights Templar used to live here...

The earliest known settlement on the estate, at Baddesley Manor just north of the present house, is recorded in Domesday and is thought to have been occupied by a Knights Templar preceptory in the 12th century.

It was also home to Lady Seymour who scandalised late Georgian Society. A voyeuristic marriage led to affairs and the reading of love letters in open court. Ultimately the husband was humiliated. The BBC made a film about it!
