Description
The Manor is an 18th-century house located on Cranfield Road in Hulcote and Salford. It is built of red brick featuring a chequerwork pattern made with flared headers and has a hipped clay tile roof. The house has a double-pile plan and stands two storeys high with attics.
The north elevation presents a symmetrical three-bay facade, with sash windows that have glazing bars set in frames that are almost flush with the wall. These windows are topped with gauged brick flat arches. The attic features three hipped dormers, each containing two-light casements with glazing bars. The central entrance is a six-panel door topped by a rectangular fanlight, which includes semi-circular ornamental glazing bars. The porch is supported by Doric columns and features a broken segmental pediment hood. A brick band runs along the first floor level, and there is a wooden dentil cornice at the eaves. Integral brick stacks are located on the side walls.
To the right side of the house, there is a 20th-century two-storey addition designed in a similar style by Sir Albert Richardson. The rear elevation has similar window arrangements, but the ground floor includes French windows in the outer bays. To the left of the main house, there are one and two-storey outbuildings that have been converted for domestic use.
