Oxcombe House With Attached Wall And Gazebo

Oxcombe House is a small country house built in 1845, likely designed by W. A. Nicholson. The structure is made of stock brick with limestone ashlar dressings and some red brick, topped with slate roofs featuring stone coped gables and kneelers. It has two gable and a single ridge stack, along with two ridge stacks and a single gable stack at the rear. The house has a T-plan layout and is two storeys high with an attic in the rear range.

The south front has six irregular bays, with a slightly projecting central bay that is defined by brick and ashlar buttress shafts topped with panelled octagonal turrets. An ashlar band runs along the first floor. The central doorway features a triangular head with a moulded ashlar surround and an inner partially glazed door. To the right of the doorway are two cross mullion windows with rectangular hood moulds, and beyond that is a canted mullion and transom bay window. A similar window is located to the left of the porch. Above the central doorway is a canted mullion and transom oriel window, flanked by two cross mullion windows on each side, all with hood moulds. Three red brick gablettes are positioned above, with the central one featuring a finial. To the right, there is a canted bay window with mullions and a transom, and all windows are fitted with plain sashes.

A garden wall extends from the rear of the house westwards to an octagonal gazebo that has a flat roof and a moulded brick parapet. The gazebo features a doorway with a panelled door at first floor level, accessible by a flight of steps on the east side. There are also two small casement windows on the west and north sides, with all openings having segmental heads.
