Eske Manor

Eske Manor is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with additions from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is built of red brick and features pantiled roofs. The structure has two storeys and four bays arranged in a 2:1:1 pattern, with a projecting two-storey porch and a single-bay wing to the right beneath a pentice roof. The entrance is through a central lobby, which leads to a passage that formerly connected to a rear stair tower that has since been demolished.

The porch has a ground floor with a six-panel bolection-moulded door set under a segmental arch, which is adorned with moulded imposts and a projecting keyblock. Above this is a moulded first-floor band consisting of a cavetto moulding above a torus, topped with a low pediment. On the first floor, there is a small two-pane sash window beneath a flat gauged brick arch. A rubbed brick Lombard frieze sits below a dentilled brick cornice, and the gable features a blank opening painted to resemble a two-light mullioned window, under a dentilled floating cornice. The gable is coped.

The main block has paired two-pane sashes under flat gauged brick arches throughout, and the first-floor band and eaves cornice run continuously around the building. The axial stack has four linked flues, with the partly external end stacks featuring twin flues set diagonally. The right wing includes a moulded band and tumbled-in brick at the plain close verges.

Inside, the ground floor features a passage that connects the lobby to the blocked entrance of the former rear stair tower. On the first floor, the room to the left of the porch is entirely boarded out and painted to imitate panelling, with cartouches and heraldic shields. A fire surround, also painted, features Corinthian columns that 'support' a pedimented overmantel. Throughout the house, primary and secondary joists have ovolo chamfers with ogee stops.
