The house and grounds as redesigned by Geddes Hyslop for the 2nd Lord Faringdon in the 1930s (photograph published in Country Life in May 1940)
  

   
Ironically, the 2nd Lord Faringdon’s first action on inheriting Buscot in 1934 was to remove his predecessors’ additions, including Campbell’s elaborate porch and balustrade and the 1st Lord Faringdon’s large west wing, which marred the restrained lines of the original Darley and Loveden design. His architect was Geddes Hyslop, who designed, at the same time, the two balancing pavilions that now stand west and east of the house.
  
Today the main elevation is much as it must have appeared in 1780. The severity of the composition is relieved by the slight projection of the three central bays, which support a pediment enriched with a flowing foliage design and bearing the Faringdon crest. A broad flight of steps, flanked by bronze centaurs after the antique originals in the Capitoline Museum, gives access to the house on the piano nobile.

To the south, Hyslop introduced the wrought-iron screen and stone gate-piers on a ha-ha wall and linked the south-front lawn to the kitchen garden by creating a hedged flight of steps, centred on the pond at the centre of the walled garden. The north-front lawn was linked to the Peto water garden by semi-circular stone steps, and a radiating patte d’oie (goose-foot) of avenues and garden enclosures was laid out to the south of the Peto garden, aligned on the mansion.
