Rogerthorpe Manor

Rogerthorpe Manor is a manor house that has been converted into a hotel and restaurant. It has a core dating from the 17th century, but most of the structure is from the 19th century. The building is constructed from coursed squared sandstone with quoins and has stone slate roofs. It has an approximately rectangular plan, formed by additions to the ends and the west side of a two-bay range oriented north-south, with a small courtyard on the west side that is now closed off by a 20th-century addition that includes the main entrance.

The manor is two storeys high and designed in the Jacobean style. The symmetrical south front features a plinth and drip bands that extend around the building. A central two-storey porch has a round-headed outer doorway framed in a decorative "Jacobean" style and a round-headed inner doorway with an early 19th-century fanlight. Sashed windows are present on the first floor. On either side of the porch, there are two-storey canted bays with mullion-and-transom windows on both floors and embattled parapets. The roof is hipped with a chimney at the ridge.

The left return wall, matching the main style, has two windows on each floor, mostly transomed. The right return wall also has similar windows but is largely obscured by a 20th-century flat-roofed ballroom, which is not of special interest. The rear gable of this wing features a brick apex chimney that replaced a former external chimney, which was removed to make way for a service wing that projects to the east. From the reduced inner courtyard, a small 17th-century chamfered window can be seen on the first floor of the rear end, possibly a former fire window, along with a blocked cross window in the rear wall of the front block that lacks a mullion and transom.

Inside, the manor has been much altered, but the internal partition walls are approximately 2/3 metre thick, suggesting that the east range is the earliest part of the building. There are remains of a large stone-arched fireplace in the north gable wall, which is now concealed, indicating the position of the former external chimney stack. Two lateral beams of large scantling with unstopped chamfers in the ground-floor room to the left (west) of the porch contain muntin-and-rail panelling that appears to be 17th-century, likely from another location, along with a Jacobean-style overmantel.
