Description
Stancombe Park is a detached country house built around 1840, but it was significantly rebuilt in 1880 after a fire. The house features limestone ashlar and has a low-pitched hipped roof made of Welsh slate. The main block is compact and consists of two parallel ranges, with three related buildings creating a rectangular courtyard to the west.
The original entrance front faces south and is two storeys high with five windows, featuring sashes with bars set in reveals. The ground floor extends to the plinth level and has a central six-panel door beneath a rectangular fanlight, all framed by a four-column Doric portico approached by five steps. The return front on the right has a 2+3+2 window arrangement, including a central hexagonal bay. Both the south and return fronts have a plain string band at the first floor and a cornice with mutules leading to a low parapet.
To the left of the south front, there is a lower two-storey wing with two windows and three-light sashes. Adjacent to this is a one-storey unit with a slate-hipped roof, attached by a garden wall at parapet height and featuring a gated opening. This unit has four windows with sashes in a plat-band and a central six-panel door in an architrave.
The west front of the main block, which faces the courtyard, has a central pediment with pilasters and is two storeys high with three windows, also featuring three-light sashes and a modern door located off-centre to the right. The courtyard is completed by a one-storey detached block to the west and a two-storey carriage house with a wide flat elliptical opening to the north.
Inside the principal block, there are panelled doors and linings, as well as a divided stair that is said to have come from the demolished Ridge House in Wotton-under-Edge.
