Description
Holyport House is a large house, likely dating from the 15th century, with substantial rebuilding and a new facade in the early 18th century. Further alterations occurred in the 19th century and an extension was added in the early 20th century. The structure is predominantly brick, with a timber frame that was originally encased within. The house has old tile hipped and gabled roofs. The rectangular design includes two gabled projections at the rear. It is two storeys high, with a further two storeys and attics in some parts. Four chimneys are present at the rear, each topped with clay pots.
The north-west front, which serves as the main entrance, is symmetrical, featuring five bays. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, set flush without reveals, and have segmental arched heads. A plat band runs above the first-floor windows, topped by a parapet with stone coping. Three gabled dormers with sash windows are visible on this front. The central entrance features a six-panel door with moulded and fielded panels, and a semi-circular fanlight within a pedimented doorcase, framed by shaped brackets springing from a moulded, panelled surround.
Inside, the drawing room contains 18th-century panelling and a fireplace with a fluted surround. A similar fireplace is found in the study. The house is described in the Buildings of England: Berkshire, page 101.
