Stowe House, Kilkhampton, 17th-century English country house in Kilkhampton, Cornwall.
The mansion measured eleven bays wide by seven bays deep, built of brick with stone dressings and featured three floors with a hipped roof.
John Grenville, 1st Earl of Bath, constructed the house in 1679, but after the death of the last heir in 1711, the property declined until demolition in 1739.
The estate incorporated a real tennis court, chapel, formal gardens with fountains, statues, fish ponds, and extensive deer park for nobility entertainment.
Parts of the original mansion remain visible at Stowe Barton farmhouse, including garden walls and foundations from the former grand estate.
The cedar wood from the chapel was repurposed at Stowe House in Buckinghamshire, while the grand staircase found a new home at Cross House in Devon.
