Moreton Manor

Moreton Manor is a manor house dating back to approximately 1600, with alterations in the 18th century and wings added in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The original 17th-century wing is constructed of limestone ashlar with flush quoins, featuring a gabled Welsh slate roof and an ashlar stack. The remainder of the building is brick and timber-frame with brick infill, a slate roof, and brick stacks.

The south-west wing, dating to the 17th century, has a moulded plinth, a drip course above the ground floor, and coped gables. The west, or garden, front has two storeys plus a basement, with a two-window range. A drip course extends around the external stack to the right of the centre, topped by a cornice at eaves level. It features ovolo-moulded mullioned-and-transomed windows, most with small-paned glazing, one with stained glass, and one with plate glass, as well as enriched window catches. Small, two-light, barred basement windows are set within the plinth. The ground floor has two cross-mullioned windows to the left of the stack and one three-light transomed window to the right. The first floor has two three-light transomed windows.

A three-storey, two-window range to the left is of 18th-century brick with later alterations, including an early 20th-century bay window with segmental-headed windows on each floor and two windows to the second floor; all are fitted with 20th-century casements. A brick cross-axial stack is present. The coped gable end has a central projection. The east front holds a three-light transomed window on each floor, adjacent to a later wing.

The interior entrance hall of the east wing contains re-set 17th-century panelling. The 17th-century staircase has spindle-turned balusters, although the landing features a 19th-century balustrade of twisted and stop-chamfered balusters. A ground-floor room in the original wing has early 17th-century panelling to half its height. A fireplace with an ashlar surround, a moulded Tudor arch, and spandrels is notable, with an early 17th-century wood chimneypiece; this features attached columns flanking the fireplace and Ionic columns flanking an overmantel with two round-headed panels that have fluted pilasters between them and a modillioned cornice to the frieze, with acanthus consoles and panels carved with dragons. The room also contains 19th/20th-century exposed joists.
