The Manor House

The Manor House is a manor house built in 1857, which incorporates elements from an earlier house and features an extension from the 1880s. It was constructed for the Reverend John Lucy. The building is made of brick with buff headers and has gabled tile roofs, with brick end stacks and cross-axial and end stacks at the rear, all featuring diagonal shafts and caps. It is designed in a Victorian-Tudor style with an irregular plan.

The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical arrangement of five windows. Three wide bays project forward under gables, with narrower bays in between. The façade includes brick plat bands, wide eaves, and verges. The entrance, located to the right of the centre, features a gabled hood and an overlight above the door. The windows have sills and are framed with wood mullions and transoms, showcasing decorative glazing with elongated octagons. On the ground floor, there is a central segmental-headed window with three-light glazing, a narrower two-light window to the left, and canted bays at each end topped with hipped roofs and 1:3:1-light glazing. The first floor has cross-mullioned windows, with the wide bay windows featuring segmental heads and narrow glazed gable lights.

At the rear, there is a gabled wing that runs parallel to the main range, which has small-paned cross-casements. There is also a small single-storey addition with a timber dovecote on the gable and a flat-roofed re-entrant block.

Inside, the ground floor includes some chamfered beams, a large 19th-century fireplace at the right end with a Tudor arch and cornice, and stone walls in the cellar.

Historically, the original house belonged to the Venour family from 1560 until 1857, after which it was purchased and rebuilt by Reverend John Lucy of Charlecote and Hampton Lucy.
