Hardwicke Court, Georgian country house in Hardwicke, England

The limestone ashlar mansion features a three-story central block with two-story side wings, Welsh slate roofing, and Neo-classical marble fireplaces throughout the interior.

Sir Robert Smirke designed and constructed Hardwicke Court between 1816 and 1817 for Thomas John Lloyd Baker, replacing an earlier manor house from the 16th century.

The residence displays a bust of Granville Sharp, an influential abolitionist who was the uncle of Mary Sharp, wife of the original house owner.

The property opens its doors to visitors during specific summer dates, allowing exploration of both the Georgian architecture and surrounding landscaped gardens.

The grounds contain an original canal from the early 18th-century gardens of the previous Trye family estate, predating the current house construction.
