Houndhill Manor

This is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, with a later 17th-century addition and alterations made in the late 19th century. The house is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings, and has a plain tile roof with coped verges, shaped kneelers, a brick stack, and an integral end stack.

The original part of the house is to the right and stands three storeys high plus an attic. It features a floor band and an ogee-moulded eaves cornice, which is continued on the later 17th-century addition to the left. The left addition is two storeys high plus an attic, and shares the same roof line. A late 19th-century central projecting porch has three storeys, floor bands, a moulded eaves cornice, a hipped roof covered in lead, and a cupola on top. The original section has three bays, the addition one bay, and the porch three bays.

The windows in the original section are random banded brick with ovolo-moulded mullions and surrounds. Those to the left and centre have two lights, while those to the right have one light. A central two-light gabled dormer is also present. A door with a cambered head is located to the left of centre.

The later 17th-century addition uses Flemish bond brickwork with vitrified headers and has two-light, chamfered mullioned windows with rebated and chamfered surrounds to the first floor. It also features a large ground-floor bay window to the left with a heavy moulded cornice, a tall probably 19th-century cross-window to the ground floor right, and a central two-light gabled dormer. The left-hand gable is capped by a ball finial.

The 19th-century porch has a central four-centred doorway with panelled spandrels and an overlight with three four-centred lights and a hood mould. A two-light chamfer mullioned window with a hood mould is positioned on the first floor, and a blind panel with a hood mould is on the second floor.
