Osbaston Hall

Osbaston Hall is a country house built around 1720, with some later alterations and a core dating from the late 16th or early 17th century. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings and features a plain tiled roof that is set back behind a parapet. It has two storeys and attics throughout. The entrance front consists of seven bays arranged in a 2-3-2 pattern, with the central three bays recessed and a central door located in a projecting Tuscan porch. The windows are 12-pane sashes with segmental brick arched heads and stone keys. The exterior includes a stone plinth, string course, cornice, and a modillion cornice. Lead rainwater heads on the building are dated 1750, and there are blind windows on the inner face of the projecting outer bays.

The garden front has ten bays arranged in a 3-4-3 pattern, articulated by giant pilasters. The 18-pane sash windows here have flat arched gauged brick heads. This side also features a modillion eaves cornice, string course, and plinth, which are at a slightly different level compared to the entrance front, suggesting a different construction date. The lake front consists of three distinct blocks and connects to a range of 19th-century outbuildings that display Gothick detailing.

Inside, the decorative features span the 18th and 19th centuries, including raised and fielded wall panelling, marble and slate fireplaces, plaster cornices, and marquetry doors and door cases. The principal staircase, dating from around 1720, has a swept rail that is carried over fluted newels. An earlier house's wall is visible, featuring timber framing with close studding and rails forming small panels. The dog-leg back stair, dating from around 1640, has a moulded rail and string that cross and cut through each other, with turned balusters. There is also a small upper panelled room of similar date, which includes small square panels and a cornice with geometric and interlacing emblems.
