Alscot Park is a Georgian country house in Preston on Stour, some 3 miles (5 km) south of Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England. It is Grade I listed and was built in a Rococo Gothic style for James West during the mid-18th century.[1]
The house is built of limestone ashlar to a T-shaped plan with a hipped slate roof, and it has a two-storey frontage of 7 bays. It stands in 4,000 acres of park and farmland, which is Grade II listed and bisected by the River Stour.[2] Several other associated buildings, such as stables and entrance lodges, are also listed. A number of former features of the estate – such as the pleasure grounds, an obelisk and a Chinese pavilion – have since been lost.
