South Anston Manor House

South Anston Manor House is a manorial farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, which was restored around 1976. The building is constructed from coursed, squared limestone rubble and features a 20th-century cement-tile and pantile roof. It has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys tall with attics, displaying four windows on the first floor.

The exterior includes a chamfered plinth and large quoins. A two-storey gabled porch at the third bay features a wide chamfered, quoined opening with a dripstone, and a 17th-century cross-boarded door that has moulded strips, contemporary hinges, and a latch. There is a double-chamfered mullioned and transomed window above the porch. Similar four-light windows are found on each floor to the left, with ground-floor dripstones only. The right end bay has a blocked three-light cellar window, a blind ground floor, and a four-light transomed window on the first floor.

External stone steps have been added in front of a large external end stack on the left gable, which has several offsets beneath a rebuilt shaft. The building features shaped kneelers and roll-moulded gable copings, a brick end stack on the right, and a corniced ashlar plinth to a brick-shafted ridge stack on the left.

At the rear, there are much-restored openings, including a chamfered door to the main range flanked by four-light mullioned windows with ground-floor dripstones. The rear of the left wing has an inserted French window to the right of a projecting end stack, along with single-light attic windows and a rebuilt brick shaft for the stack. The right return has a blocked four-light window in the plinth of the main range, an original three-light window on the ground floor (with the mullions removed), a cross-window on the first floor, and single-light attic windows with dripstones. The wing on the right has four-light windows on each floor. The left return features a first-floor doorway to the right of the stack and attic windows similar to those on the right return.

Inside, there are chamfered transverse beams on the ground floor, a two-leaf cross-boarded 17th-century door at the foot of the stair in the wing, and some original stud partitions nearby. The roof structure includes collared principal-rafter trusses with no ridge, while the rear wing has pattern-book king-post trusses with the date '1846' inscribed.
