Description

The Boathouse, built around 1860 by G. Devey, is a picturesque structure located on Cliveden Road in Taplow. It features a half-timbered design set on a brick plinth, topped with a plain tile roof. The west front showcases a Tudor arched boat door, which is adorned with carved spandrels, and the apex of the gable is stepped forward. On either side of the door, there are 4-light leaded mullion and transom windows, each topped with dormer gables. Towards the rear, there are small half-timbered projections on both sides.

Local climate

The Boathouse sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 86% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 59% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
