Twickenham Park, Historic residence in Twickenham, England.
Twickenham Park is a country residence in Twickenham designed in the Palladian style, situated on extensive grounds between Richmond Bridge and Eel Pie Island. The house contains nine bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool, and a tennis court among its main features.
The estate came under the ownership of Francis Bacon in 1593 and later passed to Lucy Russell, Countess of Bedford. These successive owners shaped the property's development as a significant country house.
The mansion incorporates classical architectural elements designed by Quinlan Terry, reflecting traditional English estate design principles.
Access to the property requires advance arrangement as it remains a private residence with limited public visiting hours. The riverside location near public transport makes it relatively accessible, though visitors should allow sufficient time to explore the grounds and interior spaces.
The property was redesigned by architect Quinlan Terry while carefully maintaining classical proportions and details typical of English country houses. The interior includes thoughtfully planned spaces such as a double-height reception hall and specialized rooms for different purposes.
