Description
Packington Manor House is a house built in 1703 with some alterations. It features red brick construction with chequered brick bands and a plain tile roof that has three projecting end stacks. The front of the house is rendered, and it has a T-shaped plan with a wing that projects to the rear. The building has three storeys at the front and two at the rear.
On the first floor, there are five 2-light mullion and transom windows, with three 2-light casements above and two similar 2-light windows below on the right, along with a 19th-century bay window on the left. The central entrance has a doorcase supported by two stone Tuscan columns and features a four-panelled part-glazed door. To the right, there is a 20th-century extension. The left end of the house has narrow casements and sash windows on all floors, situated beside a projecting stack, the upper part of which has been rebuilt. There are also two blocked bull's eye windows in the attic.
At the rear, the three-window wing has gauged brick lintels and features a five 3-pane staircase window with a 3/3 window above, as well as two 6/6 sash windows on both floors to the left. The rear also has similar narrow sashes on either side of a projecting stack, with a further 6/6 window above a renewed window to the left. There are two blocked bull's eye windows in the gable. An unusual architectural detail is that the chequered band breaks forward over the prominent brick keystones, creating a single visual element, which is seen on the side and rear, and partially on the front, although the front is rendered.
Inside, the hall features an arch with impost stones and a keystone that has "1703" incised on it. The interior also includes an early 18th-century oak staircase with turned balusters, six-panelled doors, and some stop-chamfered ceiling beams.
