4/52 Gisburne Park 16-11-1954 GV I
Country house, 1727-36 with later additions. Pebbledashed with sandstone dressings and hipped slate roof. Original house of half-H plan. South facade of 2 storeys and 9 bays, the central 3 bays recessed. A symmetrical composition with projecting quoins, string course, and bracketed cornice with blocking course. Windows sashed with glazing bars and with architraves, those on the ground floor with false keystones. The ground-floor windows to the outer 3 bays on each side are altered. The central doorway has Doric pilasters and an entablature swept upwards in the centre into an arch. The frieze has outer triglyphs and a central carved flower with foliage. 2 chimneys on ridge. At the west is the gable of the stable block, probably re-modelled c.1800, with pediment and a canted bay window, now with an early C20th 3-bay link to the main facade. The stable block is probably of 1736-7 and has a central arched entrance with a pediment over on both east and west sides. At the north end of the east wing is a square addition of c.1800 in a style similar to the main facade, but with an extra storey above the cornice. A rear range was added in the late C19th. Interior has very fine Baroque plasterwork by Artari, Quadri and Vassalli in the entrance hall, the drawing room to the right of it, a smaller room behind that, and the stair hall in the west wing. All have elaborate ceilings with scrollwork compositions apart from the stair hall where the present ceiling, incorporating an oval domed toplight, is of the late C19th. All apart from the drawing room also have enriched wall-panels, those to the stair hall being particularly elaborate, with some bas-relief figures. The stair has a wrought iron balustrade. The dining room to the left of the entrance hall has oak panelling of early C18th type. In the rear addition of c.1800 is a circular room of double-storey height with domed decorated plaster ceiling and curved doors with decorated doorcases. Building accounts deposited with the Yorkshire Archaeological Society.
