Description
Wargrave Manor is a large country house located in a landscaped park, dating from the late 18th century with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior features painted stucco, moulded chamfered quoins, and a hipped slate roof with several chimneys. The main block has three storeys, while the wings are two storeys high.
On the east front, the main block includes a central segmental bay that reaches the full height of the building, topped with a hipped conical roof. It has three sash windows with glazing bars, flanked by single bays that also contain similar windows, all of which have architrave surrounds. The ground floor windows feature 19th-century lights. This section is adorned with a Doric verandah, supported by coupled columns and an entablature that spans the entire front. The flanking wings have two upper sash windows and Venetian windows on the ground floor, all with glazing bars.
The south front, dating from around 1860, consists of five bays that repeat the design of the east front, featuring a central porch with angle pilasters that support an entablature and blocking course. It has an arched central opening with a plain double door and a radiating fanlight. The west front includes a large semi-circular terrace added in the 19th century, offering fine views over the Thames river valley.
