Kingscote Park

Kingscote Park is possibly a former farmhouse that has been extended to form a small country house. The core of the building likely dates from the early to mid 18th century, with significant enlargements made around the 1790s and further extensions to the west in the mid to late 19th century. The main elevations are faced in roughcast on a stone plinth, featuring a moulded stone cornice. The west elevation of the original house is still in dressed stone, topped with a hipped stone slate roof and scattered stone stacks with moulded cornices, alongside some 19th-century brick stacks.

The main section of the house is two storeys high and was added to the earlier block on the south and east, creating a rough T-shape, which was further enlarged to the west in the 19th century. The entrance front on the east side has three large 12-pane sash windows set in plain stone architraves, with two similar windows on the ground floor flanking a central basket archway that contains a recessed six-panel door. The door has the top four panels fielded and the lower two flush, with sidelights and a depressed radial fanlight spanning the full width of the arch.

On the south front, there are three similar windows on the first floor, while the ground floor features a blocked central doorway and flanking full-length triple sashes, with a lower nine-pane sash rising into the wall to create a walk-through opening. A hipped iron pentice with trelliswork supports extends across the entire width of the 18th-century section. The 19th-century wing to the left includes a square ashlar bay with one large and two smaller lights, with the first-floor windows being arched.

There is a large opening on the left-hand return that has 20th-century patio doors, which were formerly French doors leading into an orangery that has since been removed. The early range has five small 12-pane sashes on the west side and a part-glazed door that was originally made of six fielded panels, along with two hipped dormers. A small stable wing adjoins the northwest corner, featuring a dovecote gable end on the west side. A radial glazed window on the first floor of the late 18th-century range is likely a stair window. Central heating was installed as underfloor heating in the late 19th century, and perforated brass grilles remain on the ground floor. The interior retains most of its original joinery.
