Swallowfield Park, English country house in Swallowfield, England.

The H-shaped structure of Swallowfield Park features short projections at the front and longer extensions at the rear, with surrounding gardens and grounds.

Construction of Swallowfield Park began in 1689 under Henry Hyde, the 2nd Earl of Clarendon, following his marriage to Flower Backhouse.

The estate holds numerous historical portraits and formerly contained a substantial library collection, including the mysterious Dr. Dee's mirror.

The country house has been converted into modern apartments, maintaining its architectural integrity while providing contemporary living spaces.

Thomas 'Diamond' Pitt purchased the estate in 1717 using funds from selling the Regent Diamond to Philippe II, Duke of Orléans.
