Old Park House (Annexe of Roundaway Hospital) ST 96 SE 5/252

II

2. Circa 1820-30 mansion in neo-classical style, enlarged and interior altered in 1930's and recently. 2 tall storeys faced in Bath stone on a slightly projecting plinth. Block sill course to 1st floor, panelled block cornice, parapet and moulded coping. The entrance front faces west and has a fine but unusual elevation consisting of a concave centre, the outer bays splayed at an acute angle extending beyond the body of the building rather as an arrow head. The outer bays have recessed flanking strips and either side of the centre are broad but shallow piers, the sill course, cornice, parapet and coping breaking forward over them. The concave centre has a lst floor recessed tripartite window, curving with wall. The centre light is a French casement with marginal glazing, flanked by recessed pilaster strips with fluted brackets supporting recessed frieze, the cornice projecting over. The sill course is carried in below side lights. To the left and right of window are blind round headed niches. The ground floor repeats the design with niches, and the door set in a similar tripartite frame, double with 6 geometric panels, rectangular fanlight with 2 circular panes. In front and following line of wall starts a concave Doric portico on a shallow plinth with a bowed step to the centre. The entablature has a panelled frieze and the cornice is returned on wall as a stringcourse. Blocking course over carrying a delicate diamond pattern wrought iron balcony with lead rosettes. The angled flanking bays are of 2 windows each, recessed, sash, glazing bars, block sills to ground floor. A rectangular bay faced in the same Bath stone has been added to the ground floor on the right hand; plinth, block cornice and small parapet with moulded coping, 1 window each side, sash, glazing bars, block sills. The front window retains upper sash, but has been converted to door below. All windows on outer bays have fretted blind cases and their return fronts to main block have blind windows. The south front has a centre block of 4 similar sash windows. The ground floor has been altered to a sun lounge but has a Bath stone base, pilasters and cornice to the left side an attractive French window with marginal glazing and pointed upper panes. This front is splayed out again to east but with altered fenestration. East wing added in 1937, rendered front and fenestration in same style as original. The interior has been very much altered since its use as an Old Peoples Home, but the present Reading Room has a fine early C19 mantlepiece with anthemion mouldings to frame, the mantle with centre piece of lyre and flutes entwined with ribbons, the side sections decorated with delicate vases and urns draped and linked by swaggs set between dentil and egg and dart mouldings. The fireplace itself is entirely lined with Cl8 blue and white figurative Dutch tiles. The present Dining Room has a shallow apsed end to south west and round headed niches either side of fireplace. Original frieze has delicate mouldings of swagg and urn type with scrollwork.
