Pinewoods

Pinewoods is a house constructed between 1890 and 1910, with an extension added in 1910, situated in Oxshott, Borough of Elmbridge. The house is built of coursed Bargate sandstone and brick to the lower portion, with ashlar dressings and half-timbering with whitewashed render infill above. It has plain tiled roofs, with a lower roofline on the right-hand end. It's a large house with a complex layout. There are tall stacks at the left end, the front and rear, and centrally at the front and rear to the right. The main elevation features a gabled cross wing to the left end, with a single three-light stone mullioned and transomed window on the first floor and a round bay window with five lights on the ground floor. A battlemented square bay is centrally located, with chamfered corners and a projecting central first-floor niche. A string course runs above the ground floor, with small windows set into the chamfered angles. An oriel window is positioned to the right of the square bay on the first floor, with a conical roof topped with a spike finial. A lower extension continues to the right, in a similar style. Double-gabled bays are located to the left of the centre, each featuring a single first-floor window, leaded, over a two-columned stone colonnade across the ground floor. There are two ground floor windows behind the colonnade, and a partially glazed door to the left. The main entrance is at the base of the square bay, accessed by a flight of steps, beneath a hood moulding and arched surround.

The interior's most notable feature is a fine two-story hall in a Jacobean style, oak panelled with five arcaded bays on the sides, featuring flattened arches and lozenge keystones. The first floor has flat pierced balusters and strapwork decoration. A large, two-story hood fireplace in a French/Baronial style has a strapwork overmantle and a central raised panel, with block-decorated pilasters over rounded, grouped columns below. The hall's ceiling is panelled and pendant, measuring 50 feet by 30 feet and with a height of 22 feet.

A Music Room features gesso decorations influenced by Burne-Jones, with classical references to Milton’s Paradise Lost and related works. It has a stone fireplace with Doric columns and a triglyph entablature, as well as a panelled ceiling.
