Description
Hyde House, originally a large detached house, has been divided into three separate residences. The core of the building dates to the early 18th century, with significant enlargement and remodelling around 1800, and a later 19th-century wing added to the northeast. The construction utilises ashlar and coursed rubble limestone, with ashlar chimneys, and a stone slate roof. The building follows a double-pile plan, with two two-storey rear wings and a yard between them, later partially infilled.
The south front displays a fenestration pattern of 2:1:2, with 12-pane sash windows in plain surrounds. A central Venetian window is positioned on the upper floor, also with slender glazing bar sashes. A prominent pedimented doorway features attached Ionic columns and a dentil-enriched frieze, leading to an 8-panel fielded door. Flanking the doorway are further 8-pane sashes. The detailing includes a plain plinth and an upper-floor level band, alongside a moulded cornice with a blocking course. A hipped roof is topped with moulded ridge-mounted chimneys. The west side mirrors the south front with a 3-window arrangement. The east side has a 2-window arrangement, altered at ground floor level. A later 19th-century rear wing extends to the right, displaying scattered 12-pane sash windows, and a tall 20th-century chimney rebuilt with a moulded cap. The rear of the original early 18th-century wing exhibits a full gable end on the right. Sash window fenestration is visible within the courtyard infill.
Inside, an open well staircase features cantilevered treads, and decorative iron balusters interspersed within a stick balustrade. Matching doorcases incorporate fluting and a central, panelled entablature with guttae. According to historical research noted by N.M. Herbert in the Victoria County History and D. Verey's survey of Gloucestershire, the house represents a significant local building.
