Description
29 Manor Row is a Grade II listed building, part of the County Court, built in 1899 as the former Customs and Excise and Stamp Office. This small-scale Mannerist design features a blend of Renaissance and Flemish details, constructed in finely masoned sandstone ashlar. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a five-bay front where the outer bays are broader. These are accentuated by quoin pilasters and gables topped with segmental pedimented aedicules.
The structure includes a plinth and horizontal rustication on the ground floor, with a cornice above, a sill course, and a dentilled eaves cornice. A parapet is adorned with three tall segmental pedimented dormers. The dies are topped with urns that flank the base of the gables. The first-floor windows in the wings feature a blind Venetian surround, while the ground-floor windows are fully tripartite with pediments over the central lights. The three central first-floor windows are framed by panelled pilasters topped with dentilled cornices.
The central entrance is flanked by mullioned-transomed windows set in architrave surrounds. The round-headed doorway has a richly carved surround, with similar carvings in the spandrels. Flanking the doorway are fluted Doric columns on pedestals that support a segmental pediment featuring the Royal Arms.
