Description
The Court at Wanborough Manor is a former manor house that has been extended and divided. It features a date of 1527 inscribed on a rendered tablet in the center gable and displays a 17th-century Artisan Mannerist front. The building is constructed of red brick, which is partly colorwashed and now worn away, and has plain tiled roofs. It stands two stories high with attics in the gables, all on brick plinths. There is a brick dentilated string course over the ground floor, and a plat band along with another dentilated string course over the first floor, both of which break upwards across the central gabled bay. The house has paired end stacks on plinths with corbelled tops, a single stack to the left of the right-hand gable, and a large stack at the center of the rear.
The facade features three gabled bays, each with a two-light diamond-paned, leaded casement window. There is also a wood-framed, mullioned and transomed leaded window on the first floor of the end gable. The central gable has two windows on the first floor, one of which is lower and cuts into the plat band. On the ground floor, there is one leaded casement window on either side of the center, with three more in the middle, and a small window to the left of center. A gabled, 20th-century brick porch is located to the right of center in the middle bay, featuring brick dentilled decoration and a six-panelled door leading into the porch, with a panelled inner door.
Later, single-storey wings project forward from the ends, each with leaded casement windows in their gable ends. The left-hand wing has a pentice roof with a leaded dormer window above an angled bay window facing the courtyard. The right-hand wing features one leaded window on either side of a glazed door on its courtyard face. There is also a door in a gabled brick porch at the end of the left-hand wing, known as Wanborough Springs. The left end has pentice roof extensions that are set back, with sandstone quoins and brick buttresses. The plain tiled roof has stone ridge extensions that are also set back to the left end.
The right-hand return front includes a triple tile-hung gable behind a single-storey extension around a central courtyard, along with a screen wall that features an arched gate, known as The Court.
