Description
Aldersey Manor is a manor house that likely dates from around 1600 for the front of the left cross-wing, with the right wing built in 1635 and largely encased in brick during the mid-19th century. The structure features an oak frame and white-painted brick set on a sandstone plinth, topped with a gabled grey slate roof. A massive sandstone ridge chimney has three detached diagonal flues made of brick, while a lateral chimney on the left has one diagonal flue. The house is two storeys tall, with the 16th and 17th-century section comprising three rooms and a late 20th-century one-room extension on the right that is in keeping with the original style.
The cross-gable displays small-frame panels beneath a central late 20th-century small-pane timber casement on each storey, with chevron framing on each side and lattice framing on the gable. The tops of the corner-posts are jowled, and there are no jetties. A dormer-gable in the central bedroom features a jettied tie-beam carved with "1635 HIX." A mid-20th-century open oak-framed porch is present, along with 20th-century small-pane timber casements in the brick-cased section.
Inside, the central room, known as the great hall, has a stone inglenook with a massive chamfered oak hood-beam and an alcove supported by large stone corbels at the rear, as well as ovolo stop-chamfered beams. The rooms to the left and right contain chamfered oak beams and some oak-framed internal walls. The three bedrooms feature oak-framed walls, queen-strut trusses, and purlins, with the lattice-framed gable exposed in the left bedroom.
