Description

Idlicote House is a country house that consists of three sections, built in the early to mid-18th century, incorporating an earlier core. It underwent alterations in 1863, restoration in 1895, and interior remodelling in the 20th century. The exterior features regular coursed squared limestone, ashlar limestone, and stuccoed brick, topped with hipped slate roofs and brick stacks, some of which are rendered.

The garden front has a layout of six bays on the left side, which is two storeys high and features sash windows with glazing bars, along with a two-storey bay window that has stone-cased sashes, keyblocks, flat bands, a parapet, and a moulded wood eaves cornice. The central block, which is three storeys tall, includes single-storey bays with stone-cased sashes, keyblocks, glazing bars, and balustrades topped with ball finials. The upper floors have three-light sashes and smaller sashes. The central bay has an entrance with stone-cased openings and keyblocks, a panelled parapet, and the right section is two storeys high with two French windows and large-paned sashes on the first floor.

The entrance front features a central block that is three storeys and three bays wide, with an advanced central bay that has a pedimented entrance. This entrance bay includes a Tuscan doorcase and a balustraded balcony above a three-light window on the first floor, along with a Diocletian window in the attic. The side windows are stone cased with keyblocks, and there are flat bands and a parapet. To the right, there is an ironwork open-sided verandah.

Inside, the cellar has a four-centred arched stone doorway with stop-chamfered jambs. The central block features pine panelling and shutters, while the Waterloo Room has 19th-century classical-style pedimented doorcases and a 20th-century staircase.
