Segenhoe Manor

House. Built in the early 18th century, likely rebuilding an earlier structure. The house is constructed of red brick laid in English bond, with many flared brick headers. It has a hipped slate roof, and the side elevations are rendered. The building is two storeys and attics, with a basement, and follows a double pile plan.

The south-east elevation features a 1:3:1 arrangement of sash windows on the ground and first floors, with glazing bars. The ground floor windows retain heavy glazing bars and small panes, wide frames that are almost flush with the wall, and are set within gauged brick flat arches. Four box dormers are set into the roof, each containing a two-light casement with glazing bars. A central 19th-century doorway is approached by a flight of steps. The surround includes fluted pilasters topped by a cornice hood supported on foliate brackets. A 20th-century door is surmounted by a rectangular fanlight with glazing bars. A brick band runs along the first floor. Deep eaves have a timber modillion cornice. Integral brick stacks are set into the side elevations.

The north-west elevation has a 2:1:2 arrangement of sash windows similar to those on the south-east, with the central bay projecting slightly. A central 19th-century porch, accessed by a flight of steps, has Tuscan columns and pilasters supporting a moulded flat hood. Part-glazed double doors are surmounted by a semi-circular fanlight with radiating ornamental glazing bars. The eaves cornice is surmounted by a rendered parapet.

Inside, the house retains good 18th-century features, including panelled drawing and dining rooms. The drawing room has a Tuscan column screen. The panelled stair hall contains an open-well open-string staircase with three balusters per tread (alternate balusters twisted), inlaid treads, carved tread ends, a moulded handrail ramped up to fluted column newels, and wreathed over the curtail. The attic chambers have bolection moulded chimney pieces and earlier dado panelling.
