Enquiries And Administration Building And Attached Stores And Ancillary Accommodation, Isebrook Hospital

This building, originally a workhouse and later part of Isebrook Hospital (shown on Ordnance Survey maps as Park Hospital), was constructed around 1855. It is primarily brick with a slate roof and has a distinctive cross-shaped plan.

The building is notable for its central octagonal tower of three storeys, featuring a single window on each of its four exposed faces, with arched window heads on some. The tower is topped with a conical roof and a central stack. Radiating from the tower are wings, originally two storeys high, with a five-window range on each. Some of these windows retain cast-iron glazing bars and arched heads. These wings are finished with gabled roofs, and each terminates in a three-storey square block with a pyramidal roof and a three-window range of a similar style. Raised brick string courses mark the springing of the window arches on all elevations. A weather vane is present on the west block.

The building has undergone some window alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. Various later 19th-century buildings attached to the main structure are not considered to be of special architectural interest.
