Stubbing Court is a country house near Wingerworth, Derbyshire. It is built in the Georgian style, set in parkland and dating from around 1765. It is a symmetrical, two-storey country house with a sandstone ashlar facade. It features chamfered quoins, a pedimented central bay with a Diocletian window, and a grand entrance hall with a marble floor and a cantilevered stone staircase.
