DenfordPark. Kintburv, Berkshire The Dressing Room The former Dressing room is the third of the three-room suite and is accessed now off the Ante-Room but probably once had a direct access into the adjacent South Chamber. It retains its original door case from the Ante-Room and a tall moulded skirting board. It has no other features of note and lacks a cornice; the floor is covered in modern linoleum and the walls are plain; recently it was used as a craft room. The North Chamber The North Chamber (B/R 10) occupies the centre of the north front on the first floor and is thus above the Entrance Hall. It is reached through a doorway that has a fully fluted architrave on the corridor side but a much simpler one within; the door is of four panels with the same beaded verges as contemporary doors at this level. The door furniture seems to be of the 1930's and is fireproofed on the room side. There is a second, blocked, doorway in the east wall, leading into the former North- East Chamber; the panelled recess is visible and the four-panel door is simply nailed shut. The room is lit by the central window above the portico. This has a full height reveal and simply moulded architrave, but the lower section has been infilled by a radiator box. The window retains it plainish shutters. There is a tall skirting board around the room as well as fluted plaster cornice-cumceiling frame around the flat ceiling. The boarded floor is presently covered with modern linoleum. There are no obvious indications to suggest it had a fireplace. The North-East Chamber Evidently the North-East Chamber (B/R 11) was originally a larger space until the eastern section was partitioned off to create the present narrow space - probably in the late-1930's. The tall skirting board and the fluted plaster cornice both continued through and past the partition; a modern skirting has been planted on it. It is reached through a doorway with fully fluted architrave on the corridor side but a much simpler one within - though pedestalled, unlike those in the North Chamber; the door is of four panels with the same beaded verges as contemporary doors at this level and is fireproofed on the room side. There is a second doorway, with the door nailed shut, in the west wall. The room is lit by the window hi the north wall, which has a full-height reveal with similar architrave to the doorways - though a window seat has been inserted into it. The shutters are fairly plain but probably original. The hearth of its former fireplace is sited towards the northern end of the west wall. -40- Richard K Morriss & Associates, Historic Buildings Consultants, Sromlow House, Bromlow, Shropshire, SYS OEA
