This 12th-century Augustinian priory was converted into a private house after the Dissolution and still retains the spring or "font" from which its name is derived. The abbey contains a drawing-room decorated by Rex Whistler and Derek Hill's 20th-century picture collection.

Outside, the key attraction is the grounds with magnificent trees, walled gardens and the National Collection of Old-fashioned Roses. The estate includes Mottisfont village and surrounding farmland and woods. This property is owned by The National Trust.
