Description
Laverstoke House dates to 1798 and was designed by Joseph Bonomi, with extensions added in the mid-19th century. The symmetrical south front has two and a half storeys and is arranged with a three-window composition, featuring a four-columned Ionic portico at the centre. The roof is hipped and covered in slate. The house is constructed of yellow brick in Flemish bond, with rubbed flat arches over the ground-floor openings of the portico, and stone dressings including a blocking course and a cornice that forms part of the portico’s entablature. The portico’s pediment contains a sculpted Coat of Arms (Portal). Other details include a plain band at first-floor level, stone cills, and a stone plinth. Sashes are set in reveals. The east elevation, with six regular windows, echoes the detailing of the south front, though a porte-cochere, added later, projects forward from the fourth bay, supported by an Ionic order of coupled columns. Later additions to the north are less formal, incorporating Mansard roofing and gabled dormers. A campanile water tower is also present. The original interior features a suite of rooms retaining their Adam-style decoration, and a double staircase.
