Description
Eastwood Park is a country house, now used as a hospital engineering centre. Construction began around 1820 for the Earl of Liverpool, and it was extensively rebuilt and enlarged around 1865, likely by S.W. Daukes of Gloucester for Sir G.S. Jenkinson. The house is built of coursed squared rubble with freestone dressings, and has a reproduction stone slate roof with a modillioned eaves cornice. There are panelled ashlar stacks. The design is in a French late 17th/18th century style.
The east elevation has two storeys and attics, with gabled dormers featuring hipped roofs. It is arranged with a 2:5:2 bay layout, the outer parts projecting as wings with hipped roofs. The ground floor has 2-light casement windows with segmental heads and keystones, panelled aprons to the central five windows, and French windows to the outer bays. Balconies with pierced parapets, supported by carved brackets, are situated above the first-floor windows. The dormer windows have round heads with a keystone and a cast iron finial. French quoins define the outer bays. The north (entrance) elevation is similar, but only four bays wide and without balconies to the first-floor windows. A central, three-storey tower includes a porte-cochere; the lower two floors are rusticated, and above are panelled pilasters. The roof is truncated pyramidal, originally topped with a turret. Round-headed carriage entries have moulded surrounds and keystones. To the right is a single-storey service wing featuring nine 2-light cross windows, some arranged as bay windows with catslide roofs, and louvred ridge vents.
Inside, a cantilever staircase has a cast iron balustrade. A painted window displays the Jenkinson heraldry. The dining room has a decorative plaster cornice.
