Description
Nineteenth century villa built 1896, originally known as Millstream, now associated with the Taplow Mill complex.
A two-storey villa residence constructed sometime between 1882 and 1899, originally known as Millstream; it acquired its current name between 1913 and 1931. The house is accessed from the east side but the west frontage is more ornate, being designed to be viewed from the river.
The building was described as being in a 'dilapidated condition' in 2006, the west front partly obscured by vegetation. Three sets of ground floor and first floor bay windows, with decorated gables above, a first floor covered balcony and three sets of chimney stacks. The east front had a projecting room on the ground floor and two tall external chimney stacks. There was one set of slightly projecting bays on the first floor and hung tiles on the wall. The tiled roof had overhanging eaves. The building was described as 'an eclectic mix of styles typical of the period, reminiscent of the Queen Anne style, with its rich decoration and asymmetry' (B1).
Dated 1896. Large riverside house in picturesque style with tile-hung elevations, hipped plain tiled roofs and ornamental painted timber bay windows, oriels, dormers and verandahs. Prominent brick chimneystacks. Originally called Millstream and occupied by Mrs Benson in 1899 (Kelly's directory) so may have been built for her. By 1911 occupied by George Palmer (per Kelly's) who was a Brigadier General by 1924. Present name owed to connection with Earl of Clancarty (formerly Viscount Dunlo (sic) who died here in 1929. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Taplow Riverside (B2).
