Wargrave Court

Wargrave Court is a manor house, now a large residence, dating from the early 16th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 18th and 19th centuries, and further changes in the 20th century. The building features a part timber frame that is partly encased in painted plaster and brick, topped with an old tile gabled and hipped roof. It has two framed bays in a crosswing that was originally jettied on three sides, alongside three or four adjoining framed bays that extend to the north and south. The house has two gables facing west and four facing east, with parts that are two storeys high and others that include attics. There are three chimneys on the ridge.

The west front showcases dentil eaves, and there is an angular bay that rises the full height of the building, featuring four sash windows on the right side, beneath a projecting gable supported by curved brackets and large bargeboards. To the left, there is a gable that is flush with the wall face and has false timbers. The entrance features a six-panelled door within a projecting porch, which has a flat hood and Ionic columnettes on a short balustrade with turned balusters and a moulded tail on either side. Additional Ionic pilasters can be found at the rear. To the left of the entrance, there are four bays that include a 20th-century angular bay on the ground floor with casements and glazing bars, along with a moulded cornice and flat roof.

Inside, the drawing room reveals two framed bays with heavy floor joists and large dragon beams that are exposed. The joists have small chamfers with run-out stops up to the position of the former jetty beams, and similar chamfers and stops can be seen on the dragon beams, although the principal beams are plain. Some timber framing is visible on the first floor. The drawing room also contains three large panels and three smaller panels of late 18th-century tapestry work, framed in moulded panels, depicting woodland and riding scenes.
