Manor House

The Manor House is a late 18th-century house, with earlier origins and an early 19th-century west front. It is located on the south side of Beelsby Road, near Barnoldby Le Beck. Originally square in plan, the house comprises a 2-room central entrance hall on the west front, an earlier 2-room central stairhall range forming the east front, and a small extension to the south, representing the remains of a former wing.

The west front is two storeys and three bays, exhibiting symmetrical design. A stucco plinth of two rusticated courses supports three stone steps leading to the entrance. The entrance is framed by fluted Ionic columns supporting scrolled consoles and an open pediment, reeded on the underside. A half-glazed door is fitted with a radial fanlight and ornate glazing within an arched fielded-panel reveal. Twelve-pane sash windows are set in reveals with stucco architraves and recessed panels below. Similar first-floor sashes have stucco sills and painted rubbed brick flat arches. Plain eaves boards top the wall, and stone-coped gables feature shaped kneelers. End stacks have moulded ashlar cornices. A ground-floor bow window to the left return features an ashlar base, full-height sashes with glazing bars in reeded architraves, a moulded cornice, a tall frieze with cornice, and a shallow hood molded to the underside.

The east front has an entrance to the right of centre, featuring a six-fielded-panel door beneath an overlight with geometric glazing within a doorcase with Doric half-columns supporting consoles and an entablature with paterae. Flush wooden architraves frame twelve-pane sashes, topped by painted stucco flat arches imitating rubbed brick. The stone-coped gables and end stacks are similar to those on the west front.

The interior has not been fully investigated but contains a late 18th-century open well staircase with a wreathed handrail, column newels, and column-on-vase balusters with square knops. The entrance hall has a moulded plaster cornice and ceiling rose, a reeded surround to the front door, a delicate cornice to the ground floor front right, fielded-panel doors and window shutters to the earlier section, and beaded-panel shutters and doors to the west front within beaded architraves with paterae.
