Description

The garden terracing and gazebo at Wyelands is a Grade II listed structure featuring retaining walls made of squared pennant rubble, complemented by Bath limestone balustrading and steps. These retaining walls are located along the south and west sides of the house, topped with a roll mould that supports a Jacobean strapwork balustrade, with panelled piers at intervals and steps that match the detailing of the walls.

The gazebo is situated at the highest corner of the terrace, resting on a battered plinth. This square, single-storey building is designed in the Jacobean style, with Bath stone quoins and dressings. One side features a door adorned with an elaborate stone overdoor, while another side is blind. The remaining two sides have oriel windows, each with a moulded bracketed base, an apron decorated with a sunk star, and a 2-light mullion and transom window topped with a bracketed cornice. Each side of the gazebo is capped with a shaped gable featuring a ball finial, except for the blind wall, which has a chimney as its finial. A strapwork balustrade connects the gables. The roof is a domed mansard style that rises to a square swept roof above ventilators, topped with a spike finial.

The interior of the gazebo was not inspected during the resurvey, but the owner reports that it is a plain room that was completely refurbished in 1999, while still retaining the fireplace.
