Itchenor Park Farm Cottages And The Farm Buildings Adjoining

Itchenor Park Farm Cottages and the adjoining farm buildings form a nearly enclosed courtyard. Originally a fine structure, it has been significantly altered by the addition of unattractive farm buildings. Built by the third Duke of Richmond, it was possibly designed by James Wyatt and is dated 1782. The south side consists of the farm cottages, which are two storeys high with eight windows, constructed of red brick with grey headers, featuring a modillion eaves cornice and a hipped slate roof. The windows are casement style, and there is a stone cartouche displaying the Richmond arms. The east, west, and north sides are also made of red brick and grey headers, with slate roofs and modillion eaves cornices. These sides were originally stables, a coach-house, and a riding school, dated 1783, and have central projections with pediments above. The east and west sides feature five round-headed arcades, with the three central ones slightly projecting, while the north side has a deep central projection. The north, east, and west sides are connected by flanking walls that continue the eaves cornice and pediments. The courtyard has been filled in with modern roofed farm buildings.
