Tent Room and Attached Accommodation Block, Sezincote House

The Tent Room and attached accommodation block at Sezincote House is a Grade I listed building, constructed between 1800 and 1805 for Sir Charles Cockerell, with the accommodation block added in the mid-19th century. The building is made of ashlar limestone and features a slate roof.

The structure has a rectangular plan that projects forward at the center, with the octagonal tent room located at the far right. Engaged octagonal columns at the corners of the central projection rise above the roof level. The main body of the building is two storeys high, stepping down on the right side, while the single-storey tent room is attached to the far right. The fenestration is irregular, with most first-floor windows in the main body being eight-pane sashes, flanked by tall four-pane sashes. These are topped with curved hoods supported by paired octagonal columns on semi-circular bases, above the central windows. There are glazed double doors leading to a balcony on the right.

The tent room, which breaks forward at the far right, features engaged octagonal columns that extend above the roof level. It has a central glazed entrance with a pointed and cusped light, adorned with radiating glazing bars at the top. Access to the entrance is via cast-iron open work steps, which have models of Brahmin bulls at their base, and a cast iron grill in front of the doors. The tent room is topped with an octagonal pyramidal roof that includes a central open-sided octagonal minaret with a stone dome and pointed finial. The main body of the building has a hipped roof with two axial stacks and a stack at the right gable end. The tent room was originally Sir Charles Cockerell's bedroom and was formerly connected to the main house by a curved passage that featured iron trellis work.
