Caynton Hall The Garden House The Small House

The building comprises a country house with service wings, now divided into three properties. It dates from the late 18th century and early 19th century, with later additions and alterations. Caynton Hall itself is stucco-rendered, with a low-pitched slate roof and wide, spreading eaves supported by wooden brackets. It has two storeys and seven bays, with a projecting central bow. The first floor has glazing-bar sash windows with sills. The main central entrance is approached by a bowed, semi-circular colonnade of two antae and six Tuscan columns with a slight antasis. Two rendered stacks are behind the ridge. A projection to the left may be a later addition; the garden front features two projecting two-storeyed bows. Contemporary detached office blocks are located to the left and right, now known as The Garden House and The Small House respectively. These are connected to the main house by blind six-bay arcades with a moulded entablature above, extending across the entrance colonnade. The second bay from the centre on each side has a round-headed glazing-bar sash window. The Garden House has been altered and extended in the 20th century in a Regency style, forming an L-shaped house. The Small House is stucco-rendered over a brick plinth, with a low-pitched hipped slate roof and a brick modillion eaves cornice. It has a rendered ridge stack. It also has two storeys and three bays, with glazing-bar sashes, single-hung on the first floor, and tripartite windows recessed on the ground floor. The entrance is recessed on the left side, with a six-panel door in a re-modelled doorcase and a rectangular overlight. The house is said to have been built between 1775 and 1780 by William Yonge, who had made his fortune in the Southern States of America.
