Description
Ospisdale House is a symmetrical, 2-storey and attic, 3-bay house with a later 18th-century core. The front facade was extended by a single bay to the west, and around 1930, shallow crenellated bowed outer bay windows were added, rising to full height. The building is harled with tooled ashlar margins. The entrance, now off-centre, is located in the middle of the former 3-bay house and features a polished ashlar Roman Doric columned portico. The wide outer shallow bowed bays also rise to full height, with flanking tooled ashlar panelled pilasters, linked by a lintel band of ground floor windows, and topped with crenellated wallheads. The ground and first floors have tripartite windows. There are three piended dormers, likely from around 1830, with pilastered detailing on the wooden jambs and 9-pane glazing. The ground floor window to the left of the entrance was enlarged around 1930 to a tripartite design, with a bipartite window above it on the first floor.
At the rear, there is an extensive wing that presents a near symmetrical, 2-storey and attic, 6-bay facade to the east. The centre two bays rise to a piended roof with two piended dormers and flanking ridge stacks. The building mainly features 12-pane glazing, with panelled ridge and end stacks, and slate roofs. There is also an irregular service wing to the northwest. The property includes two pairs of late 18th to early 19th-century square white-washed ashlar gate piers, which have deep moulded cornices and urn finials on stepped caps. A later cast-iron gate and flanking pedestrian gates complete the entrance.
