Description

Trysull Manor House, along with its attached coach house and stable block, dates to 1637, with later alterations and additions, particularly around 1900. It is constructed of timber framing and brick, with a roughcast ground floor, tile-hung first floor, and a plain tile roof. The building has a roughly L-shaped layout, consisting of a main range aligned east-west facing north, and a north-east wing aligned north-south facing west. A rectangular courtyard is enclosed by the coach house and stable block which extend to the east.

The north front is composed of the main range to the right and the north-east wing set at a right angle to the left. The main range is two storeys high and features a pair of projecting gabled wings that flank a two-story gabled porch, with windows arranged in a 2:1:1:1:2 rhythm. The windows are early 19th century glazing bar sash windows, with a three-light casement containing latticed panes to the first floor of the porch. The central porch has a three-centred door with a chamfered surround. A small gabled bay, to the left, features small-pane cross casements. An inscription above the porch reads: "Stranger should this catch your eye / Do favour passing by / Bless this house ere you be gone / And it shall bless your passing on”. The north-east wing is also two storeys high, with three windows, a large gable to the left, small attic gables to the right and centre, and a lateral stack to the right of centre.

Within the coach house and stable courtyard, an exposed timber-framed gable of the main range of the house bears the date 1637. This gable features two square panels from the first-floor bressumer to the tie beam, and St. Andrew's cross bracing between the tie beam and collar. The remaining courtyard buildings are of red brick with ashlar mullioned windows to the rear range, and a plain tile roof.
