Maisemore Park

Maisemore Park is a house dating to around 1825, with a servants' wing added in the mid-19th century and alterations made in the early 20th century. The main house is rendered and lined to resemble ashlar, while the servants' wing is constructed with Flemish bond brickwork, both beneath a slate roof. The house itself is five bays wide, with a single-bay projecting wing and a three-bay servants' wing, arranged over two storeys.

The front of the house features a projecting wing on the left with a canted bay containing two-pane sash windows. A single-storey porch sits in the angle of the projection, supported by two unfluted Ionic columns in antis, with Doric pilasters on either side, a moulded cornice, and a balustraded parapet divided into three sections with a flat roof. Inside the porch is a six-panel door with fielded panels, designed to resemble a double door, accompanied by side lights and a single-pane rectangular fanlight above, with single-pane windows flanking the fanlight. To the right, the facade sets back, displaying a plinth and two nine-pane windows. A plain string course runs at window sill level, with a bay mirroring the left side and two sash windows set into the recessed wall, one positioned above the porch. The house is finished with a moulded cornice, a plain parapet, and a capping that conceals a hipped roof. Rendered chimneys are visible on the left return and from the eaves to the right of the porch.

The right return has a plinth and a four-bay section with wide, plain pilasters at each end, featuring four fifteen-pane sashes with a larger lower sash and marginal lights on the sides. A slight setback reveals a paired set of French doors leading up two steps, with a corner pilaster mirroring the style. Above, a string course sits level with the window sills, giving way to paired Doric pilasters above, followed by four sash windows and one beyond. The cornice and parapet match those of the front.

Inside, a glazed screen leads to the hall. Notable features include a dado rail, an oak fireplace with fluted Ionic columns, a pulvinated frieze, pilasters with heavy consoles supporting the ceiling beams, and a moulded cornice. The six-panel doors feature fielded panels. A central open well staircase has a two-stage balustrade: the lower section features square balusters, the upper section turned balusters, with splat balusters in between up to the mid rail. A dogleg staircase features similar balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newels. Parquet flooring is found in the double room on the right, which also boasts an Adam-style cornice. In an end room, there's a dado rail, moulded cornice, panelled shutters to the bay, a mahogany fireplace with paired Ionic columns, and green-marble lining. The office contains Ionic columns framing a wooden fireplace, along with an egg and dart frieze. Decorative painted glass is present in the stair window.

A wrought-iron verandah with a swept roof once adorned the front entrance and right return, but it was removed around 1901. Porch and fireplaces were added shortly after 1901, and the left wing was raised and given a bay window at that time. The well to the hall and stairs likely dates from the mid-19th century.
