Sundridge Park

Sundridge Park is now a golf club. The site of an earlier 18th-century house was re-designed in 1792 by Humphry Repton, who laid out the grounds. The main house, designed by James Wyatt for Edward George Lind, was constructed between 1792 and 1795. Edward George Lind sold the estate to (Sir) Claude Scott in 1796, and John Nash made subsequent additions in 1799.

The house is stuccoed with a slate roof and faces south. It is two storeys high. The central portion features a three-window curved bay containing a circular room on each floor. This is emphasized by six freestanding Corinthian columns which rise through two storeys, supporting a wrought-iron balcony on the first floor. Above the modillion cornice of the entablature is a balustraded parapet with an attic storey of three windows surmounted by a lead saucer dome set within it. To either side of this curved bay are splayed portions of three windows, each with a stringcourse, modillion cornice, and blocking course.

At right angles to the north are wings of five windows. The east wing is flanked by Corinthian pilasters, with a central projection featuring four engaged Corinthian columns and a pediment containing a round window in the tympanum. Flanking this projection are round-headed windows on the ground floor and a round window above. The west wing is flanked by twin Corinthian pilasters and has a similar central projection, but containing a recessed portico with a porch. This defines the extent of Wyatt's original design.

John Nash added L-shaped wings to each side, projecting at right angles. The east wing is two storeys and two windows, with the easternmost bay flanked by twin Corinthian pilasters and surmounted by a balustraded parapet. A similar east front extends from this wing. The west wing is single storey and three windows, comprising a billiard room. It is connected to the main house by a curved passage, which has subsequently been cemented on the outside, and features a balustraded parapet and a pediment supported on coupled Corinthian columns and pilasters.

The interior contains elaborate plasterwork designed by Wyatt, partly painted ceilings, a particularly fine staircase, and circular rooms on three floors. The internal plan of the house is unusual.
