Homes with History: Charming Countryside Estate in the U.K.

This historic home in the United Kingdom was built in the 16th century on the site of a farmhouse that once served Netley Abbey. Though the 5,437-square-foot property has been refurbished and redecorated, the front door, stonework and mullion window in the drawing room are all original to the Abbey.
