Southill Park, Grade I listed country house in Southill, England

Southill Park features a limestone exterior with service wings, extensive gardens, and a 15-hectare lake surrounded by woodland landscapes.

The estate dates from 1720, when Admiral George Byng constructed the first house, which Samuel Whitbread acquired in 1795 for £93,000.

Henry Holland transformed the house interior with French Neoclassical designs, including custom-made furniture that remains intact today.

The private residence sits on the Greensand Ridge, 12 kilometers southeast of Bedford, accessible via the B658 road near Biggleswade.

The property contains Smeaton's Bridge, a brick structure designed by Henry Holland, spanning across the stream that flows from the lake.
