Description

Henley Park is a country house that was rebuilt in 1751 for Mr. Solomon Dayrolles, with extensions added in 1784 for Henry Halsey and a south wing added in the mid-19th century. The house is constructed of red brick and features plain tiled roofs that are partly hidden by stone-coped parapets. It has a half H-shaped plan and a symmetrical front with projecting gabled end wings. The building stands two storeys tall with attics in the gables and a central pediment.

There are quadruple stacks on panelled plinths along the ridge to the left, a double stack to the right of centre, and further quadruple stacks to the right, along with additional stacks at the rear and on the right-hand wing. Plat bands run over the ground and first floors, with a 7-bay recessed centre flanked by 1-bay wings at each end. The first floor features 15-pane glazing bar sash windows on the right and 12-pane windows across the rest of the first floor, all set under gauged brick heads. The ground floor has a 12-pane glazing bar sash window on the left and 15-pane windows across the rest of the ground floor.

A central portico with a hipped glazed roof is supported by Tuscan angle columns and pilasters, with double panel doors beneath a dentilled entablature. On the right-hand return front, there is a "Venetian" style ground floor window and a hipped roof wing set back to the right. The left-hand return front features a pedimented bay on the front range and a later copy to the left. At the rear, there is a central two-storeyed bow bay with a lower wing projecting to the left. The estate was one of eight Royal parks belonging to the Crown in Surrey, and in the late 19th century, the house had close connections with the Royal Family. At the time of re-survey, the house was noted to be near derelict.
