Description

Hough Manor is a small country house built in the mid-18th century, with additions and alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It features red Flemish bond brickwork and a plain tile roof, and stands two storeys high. The entrance front has five bays, with pilaster strips at the corners and beside the central bay. The central door is set beneath a gabled porch supported by moulded brackets and features an arched niche-head. Flanking the door are single-light sash windows with stone sills and cambered heads, which have 19th-century glazing. On either side of these are sash windows with three panes by two panes of 19th-century glazing. The first floor has five similar windows. The eaves are decorated with 19th-century boarding cut with trefoils. The four lowest courses of the building are made of 20th-century engineering brick. The sides of the house have bands that separate the ground and first floors, as well as the first floor and the attic. There are extensive 20th-century additions at the rear.

Inside, one ground floor room features chamfered ceiling beams and rectangular panels of raised and fielded panelling divided by a chair rail. Ionic pilasters with cabling are positioned on either side of the central 19th-century hearth. The staircase consists of six flights and has square panelled newel-posts with moulded caps, column-on-vase balusters, and a moulded handrail.
