From the Wikipedia article
Shobdon Court was an 18th-century English country house in the village of Shobdon, near Leominster, Herefordshire. Although the main house has since been demolished, the service wing and the stable block have been converted to residential use.

It was substantially remodelled in the mid 1800s.
