Description

The Manor House is a house, now used as offices and showrooms, which consists of two sections with early 20th century alterations. It dates from around 1830 and may incorporate an earlier building on the same site. The exterior features brickwork of varying colors with painted ashlar dressings and ashlar parapet coping, topped with a Welsh slate roof on the right part, while the left part's roof is not visible.

The building is two storeys high, with three windows on the West Sunniside side and two storeys with a basement and three windows on the Foyle Street side. The lower section facing North up West Sunniside has a central six-panel door with a radial overlight set in panelled reveals, topped by an open pediment supported by Tuscan columns. These columns have high panelled plinths, and the doorcase may have been relocated from another building. Flanking the door are corniced tripartite bow windows, and there are three first-floor windows with wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills, featuring glazing bars, although the first-floor sashes have been renewed, all beneath a coped parapet.

The right section has a central prostyle fluted Greek Doric porch with a triglyph frieze, with "Manor House" painted on the entablature. To the right is a corniced tripartite bow window, and to the left and on the first floor are windows with wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills, featuring sashes with glazing bars. The roof is hipped with a truncated ridge chimney.

The right return to Foyle Street has similar sashes in the first two bays, while the next three windows belong to No. 5, which is part of a terrace adjoining Nos 6-12. This section has steps leading up to an eight-panelled door on the right, set in a doorcase with pilasters and an entablature, along with plain sashes featuring wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The party walls between the Manor House and No. 5 Foyle Street have been broken through to create one property, and there are renewed dwarf walls and cast-iron railings along the Foyle Street frontage.
