Description
Austy Manor is a house, now used as offices, built in 1912 for F.W. Fieldhouse, likely designed by him. The building features unpainted stucco with ashlar dressings and a stone slate roof, styled like a Cotswold manor house. It has a double-pile plan and is two storeys high with five bays, where alternate bays project forward and are gabled. The windows are arranged in a pattern of 1:2:1:2:1, with a single-storey bay to the left. The central entrance consists of a moulded panel door set within a round-arched opening, which has a moulded architrave and a lozenge motif on the frieze. The ground floor has 4-light mullion windows, while the first floor features 3- and 4-light mullion windows, all set in chamfered surrounds with chamfered mullions. The projecting bays have dripmoulds, and decorative motifs and copings adorn the gables. The building has ridge stacks and additional end stacks at the apex of the end gables, with the foremost stacks being barley-twist.
Inside, the rear hall contains a light oak open-well staircase with barley-twist balusters. The main entrance hall is finished with oak panelling, exposed beams and joists on the ceiling, and a large stone fireplace with a Tudor-style surround. The dining room to the left features oak panelling with a frieze and a Tudor-style fireplace. To the right, the saloon has a barrel-vaulted ceiling with plaster embellishments and painted panelling. A room at the rear right showcases oak panelling in a Serlio-type design, complete with fluted pilasters and a large Tudor-style fireplace. On the first floor, the corridor has barrel-vaulting, and the front rooms mainly display decorative friezes with heraldic embellishments, along with some simpler Tudor-type fireplaces. One rear room is panelled, and some rooms are divided.
The front walls extend to the sides and have copings, with taller piers at intervals featuring cornices and a blocking course.
