Description
Selly Manor is a timber-framed building located on Sycamore Road in Bournville. It was originally acquired by George Cadbury in 1907 and was re-erected at this site between 1912 and 1916, under the guidance of W Alexandra Harvey, using old materials specifically sourced for the project. The manor features plaster infill and some 16th century brick nogging, topped with an old tile roof that includes prominent 16th and 17th century star-shaped chimney stacks.
The structure consists of three gabled bays, each from different periods, with the leftmost bay being the earliest, projecting forward and featuring an upper storey that overhangs on curved brackets. The central bay, dating from the 15th century, has two 4-light leaded casement windows with wing lights. There is a dimple inset porch located between the second and third bays. Additionally, on the left-hand side, there is a small gabled wooden porch with unglazed 4-light windows and stairs leading to the first floor.
