Description
Doddington Place is a house built in 1870 for Sir John Croft by the architect Trollope. It features a red brick exterior and a plain tiled roof, with an irregular plan that includes projecting gables and an asymmetrical service wing. The house has two storeys and an attic set on a plinth, with rusticated quoins, a moulded string course, and a cornice above two shaped gables on each front. Each gable has one stone mullioned window on each floor, along with projecting balustraded segmental bays on the ground floor. The north front features a Gothic traceried door with mullioned side-lights in a projecting one-storey battlemented porch.
Surrounding the house are outbuildings arranged around a courtyard to the northeast, constructed of red brick with plain tile roofs. These outbuildings are one storey high and feature heavy moulded details and a dogtooth cornice on steeply pitched hipped roofs with kneelered and projecting gables. To the south and southeast of the house is a ha-ha, which is 13 feet high, made of brick with flint panels, and extends 100 yards into a terraced garden. The garden is enclosed by red brick walls that are 7 feet high, featuring an arcaded upper section, raised corner sections, and a flight of brick steps leading into the gardens.
