Pixton Park

Pixton Park is a country house built around 1760, with significant internal alterations made in the early 19th century and again in 1870. The west wing, which includes a billiard room, was added during these alterations, and the entrance was moved to the north front. An entrance hall with a service wing was also added on the east side. The house is constructed of roughcast over rubble, with Ham stone dressings and hipped slate roofs, featuring a mansard roof on the billiard wing. Tall stacks rise from the returns, and there is a modillion cornice on the south front.

The original structure is a double pile plan. The south front has three storeys in the original block and two storeys plus an attic in the billiard wing, arranged in a 2:1:3:1 bay configuration. The central three bays are topped with a pediment, and giant Ionic pilasters are separated by a flat string course above the basement. The second floor has 9-pane sash windows, the first floor has 12-pane windows, and the ground floor of the billiard wing features 18-pane windows, with a 12-pane window to the right. There are arch-headed niches with aprons above in the central pedimented doorcase, with a single-storey entrance wing and the service wing extending to the right.

Inside, the hall was altered in 1870 and is divided by a 3-bay arcade. The staircase rises on the north front to a top-lit gallery that continues around two storeys, supported by large modillion brackets. Some early 19th-century plaster cornices can be found in the south front rooms, along with a white marble chimney piece (the dining room chimney piece was removed after the former listing), panelled shutters, pedimented doorcases, and original doors. It is believed that the house was originally accessed from the east front through a courtyard formed by two service wings that were demolished in 1870. The house was the residence of Colonel Molyneux Herbert, who is commemorated in the memorial chapel at Brushford Church.
