Description
Denham Place is a large red brick house built between 1688 and 1701 for Sir Roger Hill, likely designed by William Stanton. It has an H-shaped plan and a hipped roof covered in old tiles. The front has eleven sash windows, all with glazing bars. A brick string course runs around the building at first-floor level, and there is a wood moulded eaves cornice. Dormer windows are set into the roof. The ground floor features a central entrance with three steps leading up to a stone pier topped with stone vases at each corner. The entrance is surrounded by carved stone, which includes an entablature and a broken pediment.
The interior contains an entrance hall and a staircase that was remodeled in the late 18th century. Several plaster-panelled ceilings are present, featuring large friezes depicting landscapes with figures; one of these ceilings is dated 1693. There is also a library and its adjoining lobby with wood panelling dating back to the 1690s. The chapel incorporates materials sourced from elsewhere, potentially including Poundesford in Somerset and Bulstrode, which include linen-fold panelling and 17th-century Gothic bench ends.
