Description
Kingshill is a large detached house located in Eastleach Turville. The southern part of the house likely dates from the mid to late 17th century and is dated 1738, with restoration completed in 1955. The northern part was added around 1830. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone, features ashlar chimneys, and has a stone slate roof. It consists of two parallel ranges connected together and is two stories high with an attic.
The south front showcases a long restored range with recessed chamfered mullioned casements that have 2, 3, and 4 lights. There is a central 20th-century gabled porch and two ridge-mounted ashlar chimneys with plain caps. The east end displays the gable end of the restored south range on the left, which includes a datestone and a chimney from the 18th or 19th century styled to resemble medieval design, serving as a finial. The parapet gable end of the north range on the right features cusped traceried Gothick windows, including three in a canted crenellated bay window on the ground floor, a 4-light window on the upper floor, and a 3-light attic window without cusping but with intersecting tracery.
On the north side, there is a stone 2-light casement window in the 1830 wing and an eaves-mounted chimney with a moulded cap. A projecting gabled wing at the rear of the south range connects to an early 19th-century former barn, which is now used as garages. Inside, the main room of the Gothick addition boasts a high moulded ceiling, a matching panelled door, and a marble fireplace. Stained glass in the house is believed to have originated from Tewkesbury Abbey. An unusual bolection moulded architrave on a nearby doorway features Chinese-style painting, which is now slightly damaged. The house is situated in an important position overlooking the Leach valley, and a medieval chimney, possibly associated with the house, stands in the garden to the southeast.
