Eastleach House

Eastleach House is a large country house dating to 1900, designed by Walter Cave for Charles Dimsdale. It is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with ashlar and rubble chimneys, and has a stone slate roof. The architectural style combines Queen Anne and Cotswold Tudor revival elements. The house has a central stair hall plan and stands two storeys high with a cellar.

The north (entrance) front has a central projection emphasised by three moulded parapet gables topped with ball finials. The windows on this front are largely clustered around the projection: a central Tudor arched doorway with the initials 'C' and 'B' (for Cave and Bazley) carved into the spandrels is flanked by single-light windows. A large, mullioned and transomed stair window above has five upper and three lower lights, with a continuous hoodmould extending to the ground and upper floors. Four-light casements are located below the outer gables, all with decorative leading. Two decorative lead rainwater heads are present.

The south (garden) front features a central gabled projecting wing with moulded parapets linking to two smaller parapet gables above the main windows. Mullioned and transomed casements are on each floor of the wing, with a keyed oval gable vent with a pierced stone screen. Mullioned casements are also found below the outer gables. A row of four diagonal chimney shafts with moulded caps are set transverse to the ridge to the left of the central wing. The west elevation has gabled ends of the north and south ranges that enclose a small courtyard. A Tudor arched doorway within a mullioned and transomed screen provides access to the ground floor. The main gables each feature two-light attic vents with decorative timber screens.

Inside, the house has simple panelling and boldly projecting, simplified mouldings. The fireplaces are classically derived, with attenuated column mantel supports reminiscent of Voysey's detailing. A fine staircase, with an involved plan forming a half landing above the main entrance lobby, is located in the central hall. The hall fireplace has a carved datestone reading 'GSB 1900'. Gardner Sebastian Bazley had inherited Sir Thomas Bazley's estate by 1900; Sir Thomas had begun the house for his daughter and son-in-law, using stone from a ruined house at Macaroni Downs Farm. Eastleach House occupies a prominent position to the east of the village. A stable and coach house, built for a previous house on the site, are located to the east, and a lodge is to the west.
