Description

The Manor House, formerly known as Chillingham Vicarage, is a house built in 1828 by Sir Jeffery Wyatville, designed in the Tudor style. It has an irregular, almost lozenge-shaped plan. The entrance features a four-bay façade with a doorway located in the second bay, framed by offset buttresses that rise to a parapet. The ground floor has taller, two-light Tudor-arched windows with delicate traceried glazing bars, all set under hood moulds. The doorway itself is Tudor-arched and includes a plain mullioned fanlight beneath a hoodmould, which has a blank shield above it. The top parapet is adorned with ridged coping.

One bay has a canted left corner, also framed by buttresses and featuring similar windows. In this area, the parapet is higher and includes a blank shield beneath a hoodmould. The left return of the building is similar in style. The rear of the house displays much older masonry, with early 19th-century windows fitted under older relieving arches. To the right, there is an attached three-storey earlier block. The roof has two gabled dormers that break the eaves, and most of the windows have been altered in various styles, with remnants of relieving arches visible above many of them.
