Gazebo, Terrace Walls, Gates, Gatepiers And Wall Approximately 74 Metres North West Of Kingston House

The gazebo, terrace walls, gates, gatepier, and wall are located approximately 74 meters northwest of Kingston House in Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor. The gazebo dates from the early 18th century and features a red brick front in header bond, with a Flemish bond center, while the sides and rear are made of chequer brick. It has a felt flat roof and is positioned above a cockpit. The structure is one storey high and has a two-window range front. Access to the gazebo is from the terrace, which is flanked by halved apses; there is a closet entry on the right and stairs on the left. The central entrance has gauged brick flat arches over an 8-panelled door, with late 19th-century single-light casements in the outer bays and flat brick arches over late 19th-century panelled doors on the sides.

The two-storey side walls feature keyed round-arched doorways leading to the cockpit, with gauged brick flat arches over 9-pane sashes and a blind window to the right, and a splayed stone stair-light to the left. A carved cornice adorns the structure. Inside, the cockpit has a quarry tile floor and a domed brick ceiling, along with stone winder stairs. The panelled gazebo is flanked by pilasters around the windows.

The raised terrace is surrounded by stone-coped walls made of random bond brick and stone rubble finished in brick, with the wall bulging out at intervals to accommodate a group of ancient yew trees. Stone steps with a stone-coped ramp and pier lead down to fine wrought-iron gates featuring a crested overthrow arch. An L-shaped wall made of chequer brick returns to the house and includes a brick gatepier topped with a stone pineapple finial at the corner. It is likely that the terrace originally overlooked a formal garden, probably a parterre, to the west.
