Description

Bevere Manor is a house, now divided into three separate dwellings. It was originally built in the mid-18th century and extended in the early 19th century, with later alterations and additions in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. The exterior is roughcast with a hipped slate roof, partially concealed behind a parapet, and large brick chimney stacks. The house has a U-shaped plan, originally consisting of a mid-18th century house facing south, to which wings were added at each end in the early 19th century. The west wing now serves as the front elevation, and the south gable ends of each wing have flat-roofed, bowed projections.

The west front elevation is two storeys high, with a first-floor sill band and a moulded cornice beneath the parapet, arranged in six bays with irregular fenestration. The ground floor features multi-paned double doors, a blocked tall window to the left of the entrance, and three tall openings to the right - the outer two blocked, and the central one containing a 15-pane sash window. The first floor has four 15-pane sash windows, with bays four and six blocked. All sash windows have decorated blind boxes. The entrance is flanked by two Doric columns supporting a moulded flat canopy, and has a door with six raised and fielded panels, side lights, and a large, traceried segmental fanlight above. A single-storey kitchen wing adjoins the west front to the left.

The south elevation is arranged in a 1:5:1 bay configuration. The central five bays are three storeys high, with a band between the storeys and a dentilled eaves cornice. The ground floor has two 20th-century doors, the first floor has glazing bar sashes, and the second floor has six-pane sashes. The outer bays are bowed and two storeys high, with a sill band beneath the first-floor windows, each containing a tall tripartite window with Doric columns on both floors, decorative glazing, and a central cross casement.

The interior has been significantly altered, and the east wing converted from two to three storeys. Two stained glass windows are located at the rear of the original part of the house. An embattled parapet is also present at the rear east side. Later single-storey extensions from the late 19th and mid-20th centuries are positioned at the rear.
