Kyneton House, And Garden Wall Which Extends 25 Yards From South East Corner

Kyneton House is a substantial house dating to the mid-to-late 17th century, with alterations and extensions in the late 19th century. It is constructed of rubble with freestone dressings, and has slate roofs with rubble stacks, including one with diagonal ashlar. The main block is two storeys and attics, with three Dutch-shaped gables and four windows. These windows are 2-light, ovolo moulded stone mullioned and transomed, with dripmoulds having returns, and some retain leaded lights and saddle bars. A two-storey, lean-to porch with a segmental-headed doorway is positioned off-centre to the left. Adjacent to the porch, attached to the main house, is a mounting block and kennel, featuring two flights of rubble steps with slate treads and a central kennel with a four-centred arch opening. To the right of the main block is a two-storey, gabled south wing, featuring carved finials and two modern casement windows. A large stack stands at the south end of this wing, with a group of four chimneys. An attached room to the south has a single-light window with a hollow-chamfered surround and a four-light king mullion window with hollow chamfers in the side wall. The rear elevation shows an irregular, asymmetrical composition, including an off-centre, four-storey, basement stair tower with a battlemented parapet and an ogee-capped bellcote.

The interior of the south wing features a large fireplace with a stop-chamfered lintel and a studded plank door with open scroll strap hinges on the outside. The door has a carved surround with ogee mouldings and the lintel is dated 165. Stop-chamfered beams are also present. In the main block, ogee moulded beams with stops are visible, and some windows retain open scroll catches.

A garden wall, constructed of rubble, extends 25 yards from the south-east corner of the property.
