Taplow Court (Plessey Telecommunications Research)

Taplow Court, built in 1855, is a notable building located on Cliveden Road. The exterior features an early Tudor style, while the interior showcases a Romanesque style, highlighted by a central glazed hall that rises to the full height of the house. The structure is made of red brick with stone dressings and has a slate roof. It stands four storeys tall, with two stone stringcourses that act as drip moulds over the windows.

The central projection includes a porch with a heavy oak door set in a recess beneath a Norman arch. The façade has four windows stacked vertically, with corner chimneys that are corbelled out from the second floor. On the left side, there is a bay window that extends through three storeys, while the right side features windows with mullions and transoms on the ground and first floors.

Adjacent to the house, at right angles, are the stable court and offices. A back wing extends alongside the churchyard of the old parish church of St Nicholas and is connected to the main house by an octagonal tower. Most of the associated buildings are also constructed of red brick with slate roofs and are two storeys high. The range facing the courtyard of the house has four gables that rise above the eaves level, topped with a clock turret over the archway.
