Description

House, dating from 1879 to 1883 and designed by Norman Shaw, originally built as a private residence, now serving as officers’ club and accommodation. The building is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and some half-timbering. It features a plinth, a string course above the first floor, a coped parapet and gables, and a tiled roof across two ranges. There are seven chimney stacks, with two end stacks on the right side consisting of three octagonal shafts with moulded bases and tops. The architectural style is Elizabethan, likely inspired by Shaw House. The plan is an "E" shape. The building comprises two storeys and an attic. It has mullioned and transomed windows with leaded lights and flat hood moulds. Projecting gabled wings extend to the left and right, each featuring two large twenty-light windows, and paired six-light windows in the attic above. The central gabled porch rises to a parapet. The footway is four-centered arched, with Ionic pilasters on either side supporting an open triangular pediment, which incorporates a two-light window and a shell above. Above the footway on the first floor are paired six-light windows, and in the gable above are two three-light windows. Paired eight-light windows are located on the first floor to the right and left of the porch, with eight-light windows in the gables above. A two to three-storey service wing extends down the slope to the left.

The interior features a central screens passage with a double-height panelled hall to the right. A large fireplace with an overmantel supported by columns incorporates embossed and gilded leatherwork, and a wind direction indicator. A dog-leg staircase is situated to the left, rising to a gallery overlooking the hall. A first-floor corridor to the north includes oriel windows overlooking the hall. Other ground floor rooms include a library with a large inglenook fireplace, a drawing room, a business room, and a panelled dining room. Several chimney-pieces feature patterned ceramic tiles designed by William de Morgan and made at Carter's pottery in Poole. The property is set within landscaped grounds, which include a lake to the south-east. The building's design is significant in the development of 19th-century English country house planning.
