Description
Duncroft House, located on Moor Lane in Staines, is a building that dates back to the early 18th century and was enlarged in 1893 in a Jacobean style. The main section is two storeys high, rendered with plaster panels below the windows, and features a stone cornice and a balustraded parapet. It has a concealed hipped roof and two shaped lead rainwater heads. The house has seven windows, which are glazing bar sashes with pulvinated friezes on the first floor and keys on the ground floor. There is a central porch in the Tudor or Jacobean style, likely from the 1920s, with glazed doors and a three-centred fanlight.
Inside, the house boasts a fine panelled stair-hall with a dado and cornice that appears to be in the style of the 1770s, along with a good staircase featuring three balusters, some of which are twisted, per tread, and a cut and carved string. The two front ground floor rooms are richly panelled, with enhanced skirting, dado, cornice, and surrounds to the openings; the right-hand room includes an "Adam-style" ceiling.
To the right of the main section is a two-and-a-half storey brick-rendered and tiled wing from around 1893. To the left, there is a two-storey rendered wing, also dated 1893, which has two bays and a full-height bow on the left side. The west wing, from circa 1893, is designed in a mid-17th century style, featuring two and a half storeys with mullion and transom windows and labels. It has two gables for dormers, a two-storey tower porch, a small central gable, and coped gable ends with diagonally set chimneys.
