Description
Newbold Revel is a house built in 1716, likely designed by Francis Smith of Warwick. It is constructed of brick in Flemish bond with ashlar dressings, and features a roof that is hidden by balustrades. The building has an H-shaped plan, with the ground storey of the recessed central range brought forward for Edward Wood, who owned the property from 1862 to 1898, while still retaining the original central doorway. The house has three storeys and an 11-window range.
The entrance features a six-panelled door with a fanlight set within a rusticated stone arch that has a keyblock and engaged Doric columns supporting an entablature with a triglyph frieze. All storeys have two-pane horned sash windows with eared and shouldered architraves, keyblocks, and brick aprons. The building has a plinth that imitates a basement storey, rusticated quoins, and a moulded stone eaves cornice. The third storey is adorned with a balustrade topped by urns, and the ground storey of the central range also features a balustrade.
The east facade includes a three-bay pediment and a Doric colonnade with an entablature that was added around 1900. Each corner of the building has a rainwater head dated 1673, decorated with figures in niches and coats of arms.
Inside, there is an original staircase with three turned balusters per tread and carved spandrels, along with some inlay. The ground storey features Adam-style fireplaces, one of which is said to be by Adam himself. There is a large white marble fireplace in the altered saloon, with the mantel supported by bearded atlantes on either side. The interior also includes six-panelled doors and some original wood and plasterwork, although much of it was modified for Edward Wood and the next owner, Colonel A.H. Heath.
A large 19th and 20th-century wing has been added to the north in a similar style, but it is not considered to be of special architectural interest. Newbold Revel was originally built for Sir Fulwar Skipwith.
