Bear Place is an English country house. It is a historic Grade II* listed building. The house is located northeast of Wargrave, Berkshire.

History

The house was built in 1784–1785 for David Ximenes, Senior, father of David Ximenes and Morris Ximenes.^[1]

In the 20th Century the house was owned by the Barons Remnant, beginning with James Remnant, 1st Baron Remnant in around 1930.^[2]

Architecture

Bear Place is a three-storey, seven bay, Georgian brick house built with materials from a demolished Elizabethan house on the site, the moat of which still remains to the southwest of the current house.^[3] An unusual architectural feature of the house is that the three bays on either side of the entrance curve out to create bows. It was designed and built by Edward Edgerly of Hurley, and cost £843 (equivalent to £134,905 in 2023).^[4]^[1]
