Molecomb

Molecomb is the Dower house of Goodwood Park, designed in 1777 by the third Duke of Richmond, although it is also attributed to James Wyatt. The building has two storeys and is faced with flints, topped by a slate roof.

The north entrance front features nine windows, with the three central window bays projecting and having a string course. The end window bays are lower and topped with pediments. The window dressings and quoins are made of red brick, and the glazing bars are intact. A Corinthian porch with a wide round-headed doorway leads to the entrance, which has a round-headed tympanum and double doors with six panels.

On the south garden side, the facade consists of a central section and two wings. The central part has two storeys and five windows, with a white brick eaves cornice. It is flanked by single-storey corridors with four Ionic columns each, which have been filled in and now contain two windows and one doorway on each side. The back elevation of the house remains two storeys high, with two one-storey pavilions on the outer sides that are taller than the corridors and feature pediments above. The glazing bars are also intact on this side.
