Camerton Court And Attached Offices And Gatepiers

Camerton Court is a country house built in 1835 by G.S. Repton. The main house is constructed of ashlar, while the attached offices are of coursed, squared rubble, all under slate and concrete tile roofs. The entrance elevation features two storeys and three windows, all sash windows. The ground floor windows are taller and have moulded architraves, cornices, and cills on guttae. Smaller windows on the first floor lack a cornice, with a blocking course between them. A cornice and low parapet complete the elevation, all dominated by a porte cochere supported by Tuscan columns carrying an entablature and balustraded parapet. To the left of the main house is a lower, curved flank wall connecting to a two-storey block of offices with five windows, sashes under voussoirs, and a hipped roof. A 20th-century garage door has been inserted to the right of the main entrance, below a single sash window. To the left of the entrance is a pair of large, square gatepiers topped with urns. A hipped, single-storey block featuring a 20th-century garage door is located to the left of the gatepiers; its return elevation has seven windows.

The garden elevation displays two storeys and four windows, similar to those on the entrance elevation. A unique octastyle Ionic colonnade runs to the left, incorporating a large, canted bay, all under a balustraded parapet with windows matching those on the entrance elevation. French windows are located behind the colonnade. A later, single-storey conservatory, with five windows between Ionic pilasters (paired at the corners, supporting an entablature and balusters) and a glazed roof, adjoins the elevation. The return elevation of the conservatory features a pediment on four pilasters. A blank rear elevation of the conservatory contains bas-relief plaques dated 1975. The conservatory abuts an elevation with three windows mirroring the entrance design.

The north elevation features four windows resembling those on the entrance front. Steps are slightly forward on the left, and a rubble quadrant wall with one window connects to the block of offices, which has two storeys and a basement, with seven sash windows – 9-pane on the first floor. A hipped wing breaks forward to the right.

Inside, a large, open-well staircase features cantilevered treads, ornate cast iron balusters, and a large open wreath, with a glazed dome above. Grand connecting drawing and dining rooms include plaster-panelled walls and display niches.
