West Wratting Park House

West Wratting Park House is a mansion house built around 1730, with significant remodelling and extensions in the late 18th century. Constructed of red brick with stone dressings, it has a hipped slate roof concealed behind a blocked parapet featuring sunk panels, with two pairs of end stacks to the main block. The house is double pile and includes slightly projecting flanking wings.

The central three-storey block has a dentil cornice and plat bands separating the floors. It features a symmetrical five-window range of twelve-pane double-hung sash windows set within gauged brick arches. The attic windows are smaller, with nine panes. The central bay's windows have moulded stone surrounds. A late 18th-century porch, with stucco walls designed to resemble ashlar and a restored flat roof, stands at the front, incorporating Tuscan pillars and columns at the corners and a metope frieze, framing double panelled doors.

The southeast front mirrors the fenestration of the main block, with a central, pedimented wooden doorway. The flanking wings are constructed of red brick and stone, with similar parapets. Each wing comprises two bays; the southwest wing is two storeys high with two double-hung sashes to each storey. A range of altered service and outbuildings, including a former laundry, adjoins this wing. The northeast wing is also two-storied, but with the ground floor rising through the two storeys, creating a false first-floor window appearance. A 19th-century canted bay window has been added to the east end.

The interior retains original features, including a late 18th-century papier mâché ceiling and cornice in the northeast wing’s drawing room. The hall and dining room feature stucco ceiling decoration. Numerous marble fireplaces and moulded doorcases are found on both ground and first floors. The open-well staircase has two flights, a landing, and balusters of a column-on-vase design. The stairwell walls and ceiling are panelled, incorporating two panels with wall paintings. A corridor off the landing exhibits 18th-century raised and fielded panelling, while two rooms in the attic contain early 17th-century sunk panelling which has been reset. The house was originally built for Colonel Sir John Jacob, 3rd Baronet.
