History

Iscoyd Park was built in the early C18 and was extended by William Hanmer in 1747. From 1780 it was owned by Rev Richard Congreve (d 1782) and his descendants, who sold it to Philip Lake Godsal in 1843. The stable and groom's accommodation is shown on an estate plan of 1780, and 2 other near contemporary estate plans. It was extended at the NW end in the C19. The dairy was added in the mid C19 and is first shown on the 1873 Ordnance Survey.

Exterior

A 2-storey 5-window service range of brick with slate roof on sawtooth eaves and behind coped gables. A brick ridge stack is near the R end, on the original gable line before extension. The L end has a polygonal wooden cupola with leaded domed roof and weathervane. Openings facing the yard have flat arches, and original cross windows, most of which have replacement glazing. From the L end are 2 windows, a split boarded door under a mullioned small-pane overlight, window, panel door under a mullioned small-pane overlight, and another window retaining small-pane glazing. Further R there is a change in brickwork indicating extension of the building. This section has a panel door with 2-pane overlight and cross window, which retains small-pane glazing below the transom. In the upper storey are five 2-light small-pane casement windows.

The L end has a double gable, of which the narrower L-hand is a short parallel rear wing set slightly back, formerly housing the dairy. The main range has a panel door on the L side under a small-pane overlight, a blind window to the R, 2 oculi with leaded glazing to the loft and a clock below the apex. The former dairy has a panel door and 3-pane overlight, and a single oculus with leaded glazing.

In the rear elevation, the main range has two 3-light windows and a 2-light window in the upper storey, beneath the latter of which is a lean-to. The dairy has a segmental-headed 3-light window in the upper storey of the rear gable end, L of which is a reduced stack.
