Sandhill Park Hospital

Sandhill Park Hospital is a country house, dating from around 1720, with significant additions made around 1815 and alterations in the late 19th century. The main block is built of red sandstone ashlar with Ham stone dressings, Ham stone returns, and distinctive red brick stacks. It has a hipped slate roof concealed behind parapets. The plan consists of a seven-bay double-pile block, with recessed three-bay wings to either side.

The front elevation has three storeys and a 2:3:2 bay arrangement. The central section projects forward. The second floor features 12-pane sash windows within lugged surrounds beneath a moulded cornice. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows with shouldered surrounds, the string course running onto console blocks that are continued within the pediment, the central window featuring a mask in the keystone. An arched entrance, dating from the 19th century, is centrally placed, with double-glazed doors set within a paired column surround featuring a coat of arms in the spandrels, approached by a flight of three steps and a three-bay colonnade of paired Tuscan columns with paterae and triglyph frieze, culminating in a shallow pediment displaying armorial bearings in the tympanum. A wooden boarded soffit covers the colonnade, and the forecourt is paved with patterned pebbles. The returns to the left and right each have five bays, the right return featuring a three-bay canted window with a frieze similar to that of the colonnade. Recessed flanking wings extend to the sides, with sash windows in matching surrounds below the parapet.

Inside, the hall contains Rococo plasterwork from around 1750, and the front room on the left and a room on the right return have late 19th-century plaster decoration.
