Binfield Lodge is an English country house. It is a historic Grade II* listed building. The house is located north of Binfield, Berkshire.
History
Built by James I as one of the hunting lodges of Windsor Great Park, it later belonged to the Neville family and the Vernon family.[1]
In the late 19th century, the house was owned by Captain Ernest Rhodes, older brother of Cecil Rhodes.[2]
Architecture
A largely Jacobean brick design from the 17th century, it was reworked in the late 18th century. The front has simple Dutch gables incorporating Diocletian windows in an almost identical arrangement to those at Prior's Court, Chieveley.[3] Around 1897, Captain Rhodes added a ballroom and billiard room to the east end of the house. This large Neo-Georgian addition was an early project by Edwin Lutyens.[3]
