The Manor House And Attached Wall And Outbuilding

The Manor House is a building of late 17th-century origins, with earlier elements, and underwent alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. Further additions and alterations occurred in 1926, as indicated by a rainwater head. The house is constructed primarily of Flemish bond red brick, with some earlier work to the left return side and rear made of squared coursed lias. It has tile roofs, along with brick ridge and lateral stacks of varying dates, and is arranged in an H-plan.

The main front, facing the garden, has a 3-bay loggia of 1926, featuring brick piers and a stone entablature. A central C20 French window with glazing bars is set within the loggia, alongside 10-pane sashes to the left and right. Sashes are found throughout the building. All window and doorway openings have gauged brick flat arches with keystones. A blocked central window is visible. The gabled wings have 8-pane sashes to their returns. The left wing was extended forward in 1926 and includes two French windows. A further one-bay range is set back on the right.

The entrance front, on the left return side, has a large 2-storey porch of 1926, imitating late 17th-century style. The doorway is constructed of Hornton stone, with a bolection moulded architrave, triple keystone, pilaster panels, and a semi-circular hood on large consoles. A moulded 6-panelled double-leaf door is set within. Flanking the door are narrow 8-pane sashes, with a 9-pane sash above. The rear elevation is irregular, with some leaded casements visible.

Inside, a fine early 18th-century open well staircase is present, featuring two turned balusters to each tread. It is believed to have originated from The Priory, Warwick, which was demolished around 1926.

A rear wall, constructed in the 18th century, runs between the house and outbuilding. It is built of squared coursed limestone with tile coping and incorporates a brick arch. The outbuilding, dating to the 18th and 19th centuries, is made of Flemish bond red brick with a dentil cornice and tile roof; it has a C20 brick ridge stack. It is two storeys high and has a 2-window range, with an irregular layout. Features include plank doors, a glazed panel, a C20 glazed door, and a window within a blocked doorway. The first floor has leaded casements with glazing bars, all within brick segmental arches.
