Caldy Manor

Caldy Manor is a house that has been converted into an old people's home. The southern wing facing the street dates from the 17th century and has undergone significant alterations, while the main part of the building was constructed in 1864 by W. and J. Hay and later remodeled in 1907, possibly by Briggs, Wolstenhome and Thornley. Datestones above the northwest entrance indicate the years 1696, 1704, and 1907. The structure is built of stone with a slate roof.

The main block features a southeast wing that connects to the street wing. The garden front has seven bays, with the end bays projecting under gables. The second and sixth bays break forward and have gablets, while the central bay features a shaped gable. The windows are double-chamfered-mullioned, and the central three bays have cross-mullioned windows with a central bowed oriel. The second bay includes a two-storey canted bay window with three transoms and a balustrade, along with a three-light attic window. The first bay has paired two-light windows, the sixth bay has paired three-light windows, and the seventh bay contains the entrance. There are several stacks with diagonal shafts.

The left return of the building has a shaped gable and a canted porch at the rear angle, featuring a 17th-century style round-headed entrance with fluted pilasters and an entablature. The right return includes a two-storey canted oriel with a gable above. The rear of the building is varied, with simpler windows and an elliptical-headed entrance to the carriageway, while the street wing has 20th-century windows. The west side of the wing features a corbelled tourelle with a conical roof at the angle, a canted oriel in the attic, and two gabled half-dormers.

A turret added in 1882 by C.E. Kempe is part of the chapel and has a window with two segmental-headed lights and drip moulds. The timber-framed top stage of the turret includes clock faces and open work panels with gables on all sides, topped by a lead spire with an open stage. The low extension has an apse.

Inside, the two-storey hall features a gallery that has been brought forward, with raised panelling and an ornamental plaster ceiling. There is a fireplace with pilasters and an over mantel. The dining room boasts an ornate plaster ceiling with pendants and a frieze displaying coats of arms from 1877, along with a marble fireplace supported by Ionic pilasters.
