Description

Baythorne Park is a house built in the late 17th century and altered in the early 19th century. It features a combination of stuccoed brick and timber framing, topped with handmade red clay tiles. The building is aligned northeast to southwest and has a northwest aspect. It consists of two parallel ranges, with two axial chimney stacks symmetrically placed in the front range and two asymmetrical stacks in the rear range. There is a 19th-century service wing to the southwest, also comprising two parallel ranges with two internal chimney stacks.

The house has a symmetrical elevation and stands two storeys high with attics. At the front, there are central double doors set within a Tuscan porch, approached by three stone steps. The ground floor has six double-hung sash windows, each with 12 lights, while the first floor has seven similar windows, all featuring shallow hoods supported by consoles. The ends of the elevation are marked by giant stucco pilasters topped with ball finials. A parapet with recessed quatrefoiled circles crowns the building, which also has three flat-roofed dormers in its fully hipped roof and a central octagonal cupola with an ogival lead roof.

On the southeast (garden) elevation, there are four early 19th-century French windows with marginal lights, sheltered by a full-length canopy with an ogival wooden roof supported by cast iron stanchions. The first floor features four double-hung sash windows with 12 lights. The parapet design mirrors that of the front elevation and extends around the sides. Some of the rear windows contain crown glass, and there are remnants of 17th-century panelling, along with early 19th-century folding shutters and other internal features. The building also includes lead rainwater fittings.
