Description
Swalcliffe Park is a house that has been converted into a school. It dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, incorporating parts of a 17th-century earlier house. The building is constructed from ironstone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof and features four rendered brick stacks along the ridge. It has a U-shaped plan.
On the garden front, the house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical arrangement of windows: three on each side of a central five-window range, with two two-storey bay windows flanking it. The ground floor has a central door and a three-window range to the left. All the windows are from the 20th century, and the bay windows are topped with keystoned lintels. There are flat bands at the first and second storeys, and the parapet includes blind recesses. Three hipped dormers are present on the roof. At the left end, there is a porch that features a reset coat of arms from the 16th or 17th century, representing Wykeham quarterly of six. The interior is primarily from the 20th century.
