Ossington House

Ossington House is a small country house built in the 18th century, with extensive additions from the 19th century and alterations from the 20th century. The house is constructed of brick and features hipped and gabled roofs covered with plain tiles. It has a brick plinth, a first-floor band, and stone-coped gables with kneelers. The building is two storeys high, plus garrets, and has a square plan with a west wing, consisting of six bays.

Most of the windows are glazing bar sashes, with those on the south front having segmental heads. The main south front includes a 19th-century single-storey addition on the west side, which has a single bay and a large mullion and transom casement. The central bay of the south front is recessed, flanked by projecting bays; the left bay has a hipped roof, while the right bay is gabled. The central entrance features a glazed door with a segmental head, flanked by three sashes, with a similar sash in each return angle. Above the entrance, there are five sashes and, to the right, a round-headed casement set in an ashlar surround. There are also two hipped dormers with glazing bar casements above.

The east front, dating from the 18th century, has a central beaded ashlar doorcase with curved brackets and a moulded hood, leading to a margin stile panelled door. This is flanked by two sashes with rubbed brick heads. Above, there are five similar sashes, and above again, three hipped dormers with glazing bar casements. The rear elevation features a recessed bay flanked on the left by a gabled 18th-century wing and on the right by a projecting wing, with a 19th-century gabled addition further to the right. The rear has a partial eaves band and a panelled parapet. The recessed bay includes a moulded pedimented doorcase with scrolled brackets, flanked by single sashes with segmental heads. To the left, there is a projecting half-hipped surround for a cellar door, and to the right, a recessed panel containing a sash. Further right, there is a door with a segmental head and two mullioned casements. Above this, there are four sashes with segmental heads, and above again, to the left, a round-headed casement with a chamfered ashlar surround. The interior was refitted around 1960.
