Description

Oak Grove House, located at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, is an officer's house built in 1810 by architect John Sanders and extended in 1950. The building features painted render, ridge and front lateral stacks, and a slate hipped roof. It has a double depth plan and is designed in the late Georgian style.

The house is two storeys tall with a basement and has a one-to-three window range. Originally square in shape with matching three-window sides, it includes a moulded first floor cill band, cornice, and parapet, although a 20th-century extension has been added to one side. The entrance front has steps leading up to a right-hand porch with moulded coping, a narrow flat-headed doorway with an overlight and a six-panel door, and an iron lantern above. To the left, a shallow single-storey section projects with three narrow lights. The ground floor windows feature architraves with cornices, while the first floor windows have eared architraves and recessed six-over-six pane sashes. Above the porch is a blind window, with two reeded lead hoppers to the left inscribed with "G III R/1810."

Although the interior has not been inspected, it is noted to have a dogleg stair from an entrance lobby. A subsidiary feature includes an attached basement area wall that extends along the right-hand return, complete with a corner moulded cast iron lamp base. Historically, Oak Grove House, along with Lake House, served as one of a pair of matching lodges for the Paymaster at the Old College, contributing to a significant architectural group.
