Westbury House

Westbury House is a country house south of West Meon Road between East Meon and West Meon in Hampshire, England.

The house was built in the Palladian style but rebuilt in brick after a fire in 1904.[1] It subsequently became a boys' preparatory school,[2] whose headmaster until the late 1970s was Errol Adrian 'Sherard' Manners, brother of John Manners. It later became a care home until it closed in the 2016 after being rated inadequate by inspectors.[3][4]

It was once occupied by the Sartoris family and Mary Sartoris was painted by Frederick Leighton.[5]

The house is not a listed building, although the ice houses[6] and stables nearby[7] are listed, presumably having escaped destruction in the fire.
