Cole Park, Grade II* listed building in St. Paul Malmesbury Without, England.
Cole Park is a Grade II* listed building near Malmesbury, England. The structure has an irregular T-shape with a north-south Tudor-era wing and an 18th-century block featuring stone cross-mullioned windows and twelve-pane sashes set in molded frames.
The estate was originally owned by Malmesbury Abbey in medieval times and later became a royal stud-farm during the Tudor period. Over the following centuries, it served as a residence for several families including the Audleys, Harveys, and Lovells.
The building shows how different building styles were mixed together over centuries, from Tudor details to Georgian features. This blend is visible in the brickwork, stone elements, and roof covered with Cornish slates.
The estate is located about 1.25 miles (2 kilometers) south of Malmesbury on Grange Lane. Since it is protected as a historic building, visitors should verify access conditions and any opening times before planning a visit.
Inside the house is an unusual circular wooden staircase made of oak and a grand staircase from 1700. These stairs display fine craftsmanship through their turned balusters and decorative period details.
