Description
Management House comprises two houses, now offices, dating from the mid to late 18th century, with alterations around 1820 and later additions. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings, featuring a tile roof, partly slate, and brick stacks. Management House itself is a three-storey structure, the top storey dating to the early 19th century, presented as a symmetrical three-window façade with a single-window range returning to the right. It includes a plinth and a top modillioned cornice with a blocking course. A likely 20th-century doorcase frames the main entrance, featuring panelled pilaster strips, a bracketed cornice, and a six-fielded-panelled door. A carriage entrance with an elliptical head is located at the right end. The windows have sills and wedge lintels, showcasing 3/6-pane sashes with margin lights on the ground floor, 9-pane sashes on the first floor, a 12-pane sash at the right end, and 6-pane sashes on the second floor. The central first-floor window is a Venetian design, incorporating antae with lotus capitals, paterae to the frieze, and 4/9/6/4-pane horned sashes with a plain fanlight. A Diocletian window is situated above, featuring a central 6-pane sash. An end stack exists, along with a stack to the rear of the ridge. The returns to the sides reveal that the front eaves were raised at some point. The adjacent building at No. 69 is two storeys high, with a three-window range. It has a plastered ground floor and a modillioned brick cornice. A 20th-century door occupies the central entrance, and a full-height carriage entrance with an elliptical head is attached to No. 67. Large 20th-century windows are visible on the ground floor; the first floor exhibits a blocked central window flanked by 20th-century casements. A cross-axial stack is present. The interior of Management House features an open-well staircase with turned balusters and square newels.
