Madeley Manor And Attached Conservatory

Madeley Manor is a former country house, dating from the 1820s and 1830s, now used as flats and offices. The house is constructed of stuccoed walls over a plastered sandstone plinth, with slate hipped roofs and wide projecting eaves. Brick ridge stacks are present. The building has an irregular plan, incorporating attached service blocks, further outbuildings to the west, and a conservatory to the south.

The east garden front features a slightly recessed central two-bay section flanked by single-bay wings. There are glazing bar sashes, with those on the ground floor of the central portion extending to ground level. Recessed plaques above the ground-floor windows display plaster reliefs depicting scenes from the Parthenon frieze (likely by Paul Henning, circa 1819). The south front, in five bays, has two bays set back, and also features glazing bar sashes with Henning reliefs above ground floor windows. The north front comprises four bays, with a projecting three-window, full-height bow under a conical roof to the left; again with glazing bar sashes and Henning-style reliefs. A six-panel door, within a glazed doorcase under a curved Doric portico, provides the principal entrance.

A mid-19th century, two- and three-storey service block (incorporating a water tower) is situated to the right of the north front, beyond which is a lower two-storey range, originally estate workshops and later converted into maisonettes. This latter range is significantly altered and not included in the listing. The conservatory, attached by a connecting wall, has east-facing windows separated by slender cast-iron columns and a double-pyramidal glass roof.

Inside, a top-lit oak staircase features a cast-iron balustrade and arcaded top landing. Rich Greek Revival cornices are present in two ground floor rooms, along with original shutters. The manor is situated within a good parkland landscape.
