Once the grandest and most striking house on the Isle of Wight, Appuldurcombe's 18th century baroque elegance is still notable today in the partly restored shell of the building. Admire the delightful east front and stroll peacefully through 'Capability' Brown's idyllic ornamental 11 acres of grounds.
An important example of English baroque Architecture: the 1701 east front has now been restored. It stands in 'Capability' Brown-designed grounds.
This is but the very essence of the classical period, which takes the very strongest position.
the thing for me about house is, the symmetry and perfect allignment of the properties structure, giving it a regal and almost royal affinity.
