Type and Period (1)
- HOUSE (18th Century to 19th Century - 1700 AD to 1899 AD)
Description
Grade II. C18 altered in C19. Main front is to the south facing the River Thames. 2 storeys, brick, 3 bays, the outer of which are taken up by 2 full height canted window bays of late C19 date, and not really in keeping with the original proportion of the house. The centre doorway is probably original with 6 fielded panels, and a fine fanlight. In front there has been erected a porch with Ionic columns and capitals in light coloured stone. Half hipped slate roof. The western flank constitutes in effect a 2nd front to the house though in 2 sections, and it is likely that the northern part was built later. In all 5 windows, glazing bars. On the right a verandah to the ground floor, and on the left a modern entrance in suitable style. Slate roof continues, and that part to north is half hipped (B1).
The Sycamores, The Garth and Weir Cottage were all built by the Wright family, who owned Marlow mill. [Photo](B3).
