Quarwood, Victorian country house in Swell, England
The four-story residence displays Gothic Revival architecture with elongated lancet windows, mullioned openings, and a fortified entrance porch in local stone.
John Loughborough Pearson designed and constructed Quarwood in 1859 during a period of extensive Gothic Revival architectural development in Victorian England.
The residence represents a shift in Victorian architectural practices, combining ecclesiastical design elements with residential requirements in English country houses.
The structure contains four distinct levels with multiple rooms on each floor, connected through an internal circulation system characteristic of Victorian mansions.
The building incorporates medieval-inspired battlements into its entrance porch, demonstrating Pearson's expertise in translating church architecture to residential design.
