Description
Jayes Park is a country house located in Ockley, with its origins dating back to the 17th century at the rear, complemented by 18th-century extensions to the right and 19th-century additions to the east. The front range, constructed in 1913, is designed in an early 19th-century style. The front range features white brick, while the rear is made of red brick with grey headers. The roofs at the rear are tiled, and the front has slate roofs.
The entrance front has two storeys, showcasing stone string courses above both the ground and first floors. To the left, there is a three-stage tower topped with a stone parapet and a stack at the rear. Additional stacks are found at the right end and the rear of the building. The tower includes roundel windows on the lower stage, with more roundels above, positioned over glazing-bar sash windows in the central stage. The front features six glazing-bar sash windows, all with intact glazing bars, and continuous wooden ornamental cornices, along with 'Venetian' shutters on the first floor, while the ground floor has taller windows. To the left of center, there is a pedimented window break with a stone Ionic portico supported by paired columns, behind which are glazed doors. The west-southwest wall is dated 1913 and bears the initials H.C.L.S and A.L.S.
At the rear, there are parallel ranges with a courtyard in between, featuring irregular square-pane leaded casement windows, with two windows on each floor of each wing. There are taller additions, including a 19th-century range to the east with a curved front under a balustrade and three windows. Jayes Park is noted as the principal house of Ockley Parish and has been built and is still owned by the Lea-steere family.
