Description
Stoke Park, located at Stoke Poges Golf Club, was designed for John Penn by Robert Nasmith in 1789 and completed after Nasmith's death by James Wyatt around 1793 to 1797, excluding the dome. The building is finished in stucco and features a balustraded core that rises three storeys and consists of seven bays, with the central three bays slightly projecting. At the top, there is a dome on a drum adorned with widely spaced Composite capitals, topped by a lantern with closely set pilasters. In front of the building, there is a single-storey Greek Doric portico, with solid ends on either side.
Inside, an oval entrance hall leads to a staircase hall, which has a groined vault that extends north and south with segmental tunnel vaults. The staircase was added later. The former library contains four screens of grey marble columns with arches. There is a room in the south-east corner that features fine details, and a north-east room with panelling that incorporates Jacobean pieces.
