The Old Estate House

The Old Estate House is a detached house located on Park Street in Heytesbury. It was built in the early 18th century, with some additions made in the late 18th century. The house features English bond brickwork, a tiled roof, and brick stacks. It is two stories high with a three-windowed front, which includes casement windows. To the left of the early 18th-century build is a six-panelled door with a 20th-century flat wooden hood supported by brackets. There is a blocked doorway in the center, with a two-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement on either side. The exterior has a dentilled three-brick plat band and three two-light mullioned casements on the first floor. The building also has flush stone quoins, a moulded stone eaves cornice, and coped verges on the roof.

Attached to the left side of the house is an 18th-century range that has an outshut at the front and a 20th-century flat-roofed extension. This section includes two-light casements and a gabled half dormer with a two-light casement. The right return of the house is constructed in English garden wall bond brick, with some stone, and features a two-light casement on the first floor and another two-light casement in the attic. The rear of the house has a two-light mullioned window on the ground and first floors to the left, while to the right is a later 18th-century wing that includes a 20th-century two-light casement on both the ground and first floors, as well as a two-light mullioned window in the attic and a half-hipped roof. Additionally, there is a 20th-century conservatory with two-light casements and a gabled half dormer that incorporates some early 18th-century brickwork.

Inside, the house features chamfered beams, a staircase with stick balusters, an open fireplace, and window shutters. The Old Estate House was formerly the estate office for the Heytesbury Estate. Notably, William Cunnington, an antiquarian colleague of Colt Hoare, lived here from 1775 to 1810.
