Description
Buscot Park features an east pavilion with attached terrace walls and a gatepier, built around 1935 by Geddes Hyslop for the 2nd Baron Faringdon. The pavilion is constructed of limestone ashlar and consists of a 7-bay range that runs parallel to the main axis of the mansion. Both ends of the pavilion are porticoed with four Tuscan Doric columns in antis and roundels in the pediments. The longer side of the pavilion projects forward in the wider middle bay, which has an open archway beneath a triangular pediment. The roof is topped with a central cupola. Inside, there is a barrel-vaulted passage adorned with frescoes reflecting a Socialist theme, created by Lord Hastings. The stone retaining walls along the east side of the north terrace are punctuated by low piers with vases and flights of steps, leading to a raised balustrade that connects to the panelled northern pier of the southeast gateway to the forecourt. These walls are part of an elaborate formal landscape scheme surrounding the mansion.
