Buscot Park: West Pavilion with Attached Terrace Walls and Gatepier

The West Pavilion at Buscot Park, built around 1935 by Geddes Hyslop for the 2nd Baron Faringdon, is a pavilion that forms part of the country house. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a seven-bay range that runs parallel to the main axis of the mansion. Both ends of the pavilion are porticoed, supported by four Tuscan Doric columns in antis, with roundels in the pediments. The longer sides include an additional basement storey, with the eastern side opening to a sunken service court. The middle bay is wider and projects forward beneath a triangular pediment, featuring an arched carriage entry that rises through both storeys. Flanking the central bay are ashlar ridge stacks.

Surrounding the pavilion are stone retaining walls, which are accented by low piers topped with vases and flights of steps. These walls extend around the west and north sides of the north terrace, curving around a stone basin and statue, and leading to a ramp that rises to a balustrade adjoining the panelled northern pier of the south-west gateway to the forecourt. The walls are part of an elaborate formal landscape scheme that enhances the setting of the mansion.
