Description

The Manor House, located on Church Street in Swepstone, is primarily an 18th-century building with a core dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, along with some 19th-century alterations. It features red brick construction with a stone plinth and brick dentilled eaves, topped by a plain tiled roof that has had its upper brick stacks rebuilt. The house is two storeys high with an attic and is designed in an L shape, with a left side that projects and has a gable end facing the street.

The front of the house has renewed 20th-century wooden mullion and transom casements, which include top lights on both the ground and first floors, all set beneath cambered brick lintels. The main range displays three windows, with a central round-headed doorway that has a radiating fanlight above a six-fielded panelled door, and a renewed round-headed canopy. The side windows consist of three-light units, while the centre window on the first floor is a two-light design. The right gable end features two two-light windows on both floors and a three-light window in the attic. The left projecting inner wall also has three-light windows on both floors.

To the left of the main structure is a two-storey extension, with its lower part being contemporary to the house and the higher part dating from the 19th century. Further left is a single-storey 19th-century extension. The rear of the house is symmetrical, featuring a hipped roof staircase projection, with a 20th-century outshut to the right and projecting stepped wall stacks on either side. There is also a later 18th or 19th-century rebuilding or extension to the right. The projecting wing has a ridge stack and displays a section of 16th or 17th-century ashlar on its outer wall, which consists of a wall stack with stepped sides and two one-light windows, one of which is blocked.

Inside, the house features an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters, several 18th-century doors with two fielded panels, and a rediscovered interior one-light window that likely dates back to the 17th century, complete with square leaded panes.
