Nottinghamshire County Council South Manor And Attached Wall

House, later a nursing home, dating from the 18th century with major alterations and additions made in 1852 by T. C. Hine for Sir Thomas Parkyns. The building is constructed of red brick with stucco rendering.

The main garden front, which now serves as the entrance, features a hipped slate roof with eaves supported on decorative brackets. Three large ridge stacks and similar single rear stacks rise from the roof. The front is painted at plinth level and displays two storeys arranged in five bays. The outer bays are single storeys that project and are hipped, with the ground floor displaying banded rustication and rusticated quoin strips to the first floor. The central three bays project at ground floor level and are topped with an ashlar balustrade. A dentil eaves cornice projects in sections across the front.

The ground floor comprises three round arches, each with a keyblock and supported on two Doric columns. The left two arches contain glazed doors with fanlights, while the right arch has a panelled double door with a similar fanlight. The outer bays have projecting bays with dentil eaves; each contains a single sash flanked by two narrow sashes. Flanking the top of each sash are single decorative brackets supporting panelled blocks, which in turn support the projecting cornice, with a panelled frieze extending between the blocks. Each side wall contains a single blind panel, with three sashes above. The outer single bays have similar single sashes flanked by narrow sashes.

To the right, set back, stands a three-storey turret with banded rustication at ground floor level and rusticated quoin strips at first floor level. The second floor features a single panel containing a small casement window. Above is a frieze with raised panels and a deep parapet.

To the rear right is an altered 18th-century two-and-a-half-storey wing of three bays with a moulded eaves band. The 19th-century ground floor projects and is topped with an ashlar balustrade. A single large bow window contains five sashes. To the right are two round arched doorways with glazed doors and fanlights. Above are three sashes with three further sashes above, which break the eaves and have pediments over them.

The former entrance front comprises five bays with banded rustication to the ground floor and rusticated quoin strips above. A central portico with Doric columns rises from a vermiculated ashlar wall that extends across the entire front for approximately 24 metres and is topped with an ashlar balustrade. The portico features an entablature with dentil cornice. The doorway contains a part-glazed double door with marginal lights and a dentil band above. Either side are two sashes. On the far right, the top of a single sash is flanked by decorative brackets supporting a slightly projecting bay above, which rises to form a stack. On the far left are two small sashes. Above are five sashes.

The interior contains an open well staircase with decorative balusters and newels.
