Description
Lickhill Manor is a country house located on Lickhill Road in Stourport on Severn, dating from around 1700, though it may have been constructed in two distinct phases. The building is made of brick and features a graded slate roof. The entrance front has three storeys and seven bays, with the upper storey made from a different type of brick and bond, possibly extending from a late 17th-century house into the early 18th century.
The central door has six fielded panels set within a shouldered architrave and is topped by a segmentally arched pediment. The flush framed 12-pane sash windows have flat arched gauged brick heads with stuccoed keystones and moulded stone sills, aligned on each floor. A sill band runs along the first floor, and there is a modillion eaves cornice. The rear elevation is similar but displays a higher quality of detailing, indicating it was likely intended as the main front. It features a central doorway with a shouldered architrave and keystone, along with segmentally arched pediment on consoles. The 12-pane sash windows here also have flat arched brick heads with fluted stuccoed keystones and moulded sills. There is a doorway that has been inserted into a former window opening on the lower right. A parapet wall runs across both gables, connecting the two parallel ridges, and gable end stacks have projecting capping.
Inside, there are several panelled rooms on the ground and first floors, with at least one room from the early 18th century featuring bolection moulding around the fireplaces and door surrounds. Other rooms may date from the later 18th century, and there was some remodelling in the late 19th century by the Crane family, whose monograms can be found in painted plaster on a ceiling. One ground floor room has floral fresco painting on the ceiling. A small room at the front features 17th-century-style panelling, which may either be a good reproduction or remnants from an earlier building. The early 18th-century staircase has a moulded string and turned balusters, and there is late 19th-century armorial glass in the stair windows.
