Ozleworth Park

Country house, originally built in the early 18th century and expanded in the early 19th century, with later 19th-century service wings added to the east. The exterior is mainly rendered with a plinth, a moulded stone cornice, and a blocking course, topped by a slate roof. Ashlar is used for end and ridge stacks which have an offset and moulded cornice. The original section features a fluted frieze, while the later range has alternating slightly raised quoins and an ashlar bow to the west with a hipped roof.

Originally a single range, the house was extended with a linking wing and a parallel north range, forming a U shape and creating a large service courtyard to the east, enclosed by an L-shaped wing returning to the south. The house is generally two stories in height. The earlier block is asymmetrical, with two windows on the left and three on the right, framing a large, semi-circular projecting bay containing three windows, all with 12-pane sashes, and a first-floor sill band. A similar arrangement is found to the left, although on the ground floor the windows are plate glass, with decorative pelmets on the outer two. The central section has a pedimented stone doorcase with attached unfluted columns and a three-quarter glazed door with a plain transom light.

The rear linking wing has four 12-pane sashes with plain stone architraves on each floor. The west end of the north wing has a large segmental bow with similar large sashes, formerly fitted with wooden louvred shutters.

The north front has three bays, with a recessed central section containing a large Greek Doric porte-cochère with paired columns to the front and a single column to the rear. The ground floor bays have segmental headed recesses containing tripartite sashes on either side, though one is blind. Central half-glazed double doors with side lights are present. One 12-pane sash with a moulded architrave appears on each bay of the first floor.

A large, late 19th-century service wing is constructed in coursed and dressed stone with a hipped and sprocketed slate roof, and sashes in plain stone architraves. The interior remains largely unaltered. The older range contains a cantilevered, moulded stone staircase with a wreathed and ramped handrail and a wrought iron balustrade. Much of the original joinery survives, including doorcases and shutters. The early 19th-century wing features several large rooms with original plasterwork, elaborate ceilings, and doorcases in moulded arched surrounds.
