Teversal Manor

Teversal Manor is a small country house dating to the 16th century, with substantial alterations in the late 17th century (1764) and a largely remodelled appearance from 1896 by MacVicar Anderson in a Neo-Jacobean style. The house is constructed of coursed and dressed rubble stone with ashlar dressings, featuring slate roofs with ashlar coped gables, kneelers with ball finials, a chamfered plinth, an eaves band, and nine moulded stacks with double chamfered tops.

The entrance front displays a projecting two-storey porch with a large four-centred archway containing double panel doors in a glazed surround, and a hood mould with stops. Above the doorway is a three-light cross mullion window with a flat hood, and in the gable, a small square plaque displaying a shield and the date 1764.

The south, garden front has seven irregular bays. The western section, dating to 1896, comprises five bays with two central sets of double glazed doors within chamfered surrounds, flanked by a single four-light and a single two-light cross mullion window. Above are four four-light mullion windows, all with flat hoods. The gables vary in size. To the left of the main block is a single 17th-century bay followed by two 18th-century bays, featuring two three-light double chamfered mullion windows and a four-light cross mullion window with double glazed doors inserted. Above are a two-light window to the left and two three-light mullion windows to the right. In the left gable is a single light chamfered window, and in the right gable a small dormer. The eastern wing, which contains the oldest sections of the house, has a single 17th-century three-light mullion window on the upper floor.

The interior of the main rooms from 1896 includes various re-used 18th-century fireplaces, notably in the Drawing Room. There is a good quality Neo-Jacobean staircase. The kitchen wing retains massive chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and the upper floor has a fine bolection moulded fireplace dating to c.1700. The eastern wing contains rooms with 19th-century panelling incorporating sections and cupboards dating to c.1700, along with some plain fireplaces. The smoking room features an unusual Art Nouveau style wooden fireplace. The cellars include a large stone salting table. The remodelling by MacVicar Anderson was undertaken for the Hon. Henrietta Molyneaux.
