    Started in the early 18th century as the seat of the Worsley family, Appuldurcombe was once the largest house on the Isle of Wight. A later owner, Sir Richard Worsley, 7th Baronet, rose to prominence through a 1782 court case in which his wife, Seymour, admitted to having had 27 lovers.

    Appuldurcombe was a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture, and although it is now an ornate shell, it still retains more than a shadow of its former dignity and many fine architectural details. Celebrated landscape designer 'Capability' Brown improved the sloping terrain in the 1780s.

    This impressive and imposing building is the seat of the Worsley family. Construction began in the 18th century, but don't let looks deceive you, this is actually just a building shell. It has nothing inside. During WW2 the military were stationed in the house and it was hit by a land mine. The roof collapsed and over time and everything inside was sold off.
