Description
Lasborough Park is a small country house built in 1794 by James Wyatt for Edmund Estcourt. The house was altered and enlarged during the 19th century, possibly by the Holford family, who may have lived here while Westonbirt House was being constructed. The building features coursed and dressed stone on a chamfered plinth, a hipped slate roof with a parapet, and stone stacks, all designed in the Tudor Gothic style.
The main range of the house is symmetrical and consists of two storeys, with a central three-storey canted bay topped by an embattled parapet above a string course. There are four square corner towers, which are also embattled above a corbel table, with a single window bay between the towers and the central feature. Most of the windows are large, featuring ovolo-moulded two-light stone mullions with transoms on the ground floor. The two corner towers on the garden side have half-glazed doors leading outside.
At the rear, there are large 19th-century additions in a similar style, forming a U-shape, which includes a polygonal corner porch on the east side. Inside, the house has simple classical plaster friezes, likely created by Wyatt, and a cantilevered stone stair in the southwest tower with an iron balustrade. The drawing room features a marble fireplace. Wyatt's original plans, which were not executed exactly as designed, are displayed in the library located in the northeast corner.
