Description
The former estate office at Taplow Court, now known as rooms 4501 to 4503, along with the adjoining cottage to the east, was built around 1890 as a single structure. This two-storey building features a patterned tile roof and elaborately barge boarded gables. The estate office itself is half-timbered with brick infill and consists of two unequal gabled bays. The ground floor has a four-light window and a four-centred door, along with a two-light window, all set beneath a single broad segmental arch that includes decorative beasts in the spandrels. The first floor has one three-light window and one two-light window, with all windows except the four-light one having leaded lights. The adjoining cottage is constructed of yellow and some red brick and has three bays. Its ground floor features a three-light window in a red brick frame, flanked by timber gables on either side of a central door, which has a gabled porch similar to the windows. The first floor has a single two-light casement window above the door, with a red brick sill and a gable that extends into the roof, mirroring the design of the ground floor windows.
