Description

Wyvols Court is an early 19th-century house located on the north side of Basingstoke Road in Swallowfield. The building features a rendered exterior and slate hipped roofs, with an irregular plan that includes one and two storeys with attics. There are two chimneys located behind the ridge and one to the left.

The entrance front has a two-storey central section flanked by one-storey wings on either side. It includes a plinth and a moulded string cornice leading to a parapet. The central block has five windows, with the outer pairs set in two-storey bows. All windows are sashes with glazing bars and have blind boxes. The central entrance is arched and features an overlight margin, a half-glazed door, and a flat-headed projecting corniced porch supported by Ionic columns with pilasters behind. The one-storey wings have panel pilasters, with one sash window with glazing bars on the left and a semi-circular headed niche in a moulded frame on the right.

On the return front to the right, there is a five-bay verandah supported by decorative cast iron columns, with the central bays glazed. Adjacent to this is a late 19th-century projecting billiard room that has a top-lit hipped slate roof, rendered walls, and a projecting gabled timber porch flanked by semi-circular headed windows with decorative glazing. The interior retains its fittings and game trophies.
