Description
The gas house, located approximately 100 meters north of Ditchley House, is now an electricity substation and was likely once a menagerie. It dates from around 1745 and may have been altered in the 19th century. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a Welsh-slate roof. It has an octagonal plan and is a single-storey structure designed as a garden feature. There are four stone doorways with moulded architraves and entablatures that include pulvinated friezes, while alternate sides have small arched windows. The shallow-pitched roof rises from a moulded stone cornice and is topped with a wooden louvred lantern. The interior has not been inspected. Ditchley Park is listed in the English Heritage Historic Gardens Register at Grade II*.
