Royston Manor House

Royston Manor House is a manor house that has been converted into a hotel. It was originally built in 1588 and underwent rebuilding in 1891, with additional features added in the 19th century. The structure is made of coursed squared rubble and brick, rendered, and topped with a hipped pantile roof. It has a rubble plinth and quoins, rendered eaves, a balustrade, and coped gables with kneelers. The building has two roof stacks, two rear wall stacks, and a single side wall stack. It stands two storeys tall with garrets and has six bays.

Most of the windows are 19th-century mullioned and transomed casements. The west front features a doorway with a chamfered surround and an overlight, flanked on the left by a single casement and on the right by a three-light casement. Above this, there are three casements of varying sizes, and above them, a single flat-roofed dormer. The main south front has three projecting full-height gabled bays and a two-storey flat-roofed extruded corner to the left. There is an off-centre 20th-century lean-to glazed porch, flanked by two large casements. Above the porch are five casements of different sizes, and to the left, a small single casement.

The east front features a central 20th-century glazed lean-to porch that contains a 19th-century Tudor arched moulded doorway with flanking lights. This is flanked by single casements, with another single casement to the left. Above, there are four casements. At the rear, there is a 19th-century link that is two storeys tall with two bays, and a higher 19th-century two-storey, two-bay service wing made of brick with pantile roofs. This part has a single side wall stack and two gable stacks, one of which is external. There is also a 20th-century external stair leading to a first-floor door.

Inside, the manor house features 19th-century moulded cornices and beams. A room in the southwest corner contains a 16th-century moulded Tudor arched fireplace with a fragment of 17th-century panelling above it, along with a single 17th-century panelled cupboard door.
