Harburn House, 1804
Pretty two-storey Regency villa facing a courtyard; pavilion roof, dentilled cornice and curiously recessed central three bays with fine fanlit doorway. Three much more florid storeys facing north-west over an ornamental lake and beautifully landscaped policies. Now conference centre and hotel (colour page). A late 19th-century summerhouse faces the front entrance. The early 19th-century stables form a plain elegant courtyard beneath the pedimented entrance. Monument, 1835, an ashlar Doric column topped by a ball finial, commemorates the visit of Charles X of France in 1832.
