Description
Sissinghurst Park is a country house set within a landscaped garden, built in 1913, possibly by Mervyn Macartney. The house is constructed of red brick, featuring raised rusticated quoins, a band, and gauged heads. It has a deep coved eaves cornice beneath a plain tiled hipped roof, which includes nine hipped dormers. There is a tall brick stack at the center behind the ridge, with additional tall brick stacks on either side of the garden side wings, and single stacks at both ends.
The entrance front has flanking wings and is two storeys high with attics. A central two-storey porch features a stone triangular pediment above and a keyed rusticated round-arched entrance below. To the right, there is a single tall window that illuminates the staircase. The garden front also has projecting wings to the left and right, with a slightly irregular arrangement of windows in a 2-2-3-2-1 rhythm. The windows are lattice wood-framed cross-windows with casements. The central entrance consists of double panelled doors topped with a large wooden open segmental pediment on brackets and a wooden surround. Prominent downpipes with decorated hopper-heads are dated 1913. Inside, there is a three-flight rectangular newel staircase with salomonical balusters.
