Description
1 Wharfe Lane is a 19th-century building that occupies an important focal position with elevations facing both Wharfe Lane and the River Thames. It also marks the end of Thameside at the junction of Thameside and New Street. The building is constructed of red brick, featuring white brick quoins and door and window dressings, topped with a modern pantiled roof.
The elevation facing Wharfe Lane is two storeys high with three windows, which are sashes with late 19th-century glazing. The ground floor includes a garage and a house door. The Thameside elevation has four unbarred sashes and a central door, with the eastern bay designed as a separate unit featuring a canted oriel bay on the first floor. There is an additional garage door on the ground floor. The river elevation displays a gable end with a fretted bargeboard and includes a first-floor balcony, presenting a three-bay facade. The windows are two-light sashes with segmental arches, and the ground floor accommodates two boathouses.
