About

The imposing shell of a grandiose Georgian mansion built in 1724-29, with an immensely columned exterior. Roofless since 1919, when its interiors were dismantled and some exported to America, there is still much to discover within, including traces of sumptuous plasterwork. Adjacent to the parish church, Sutton Scarsdale Hall is set amid open grassed land, with beautiful views, sloping down toward a ha-ha ditch.There is a small car park, accessed via Hall Drive, a residential street. In Sutton Scarsdale village, between Chesterfield and Bolsover. Access is during daylight hours only. At other times, the gateway to Hall Drive may be closed. There are no public toilets. The Hall is closed for major conservation works. Access to the grounds is available, where the exterior of the Hall can be viewed.
