Caldrees Manor

A large house, likely with origins in the 16th or 17th century, significantly altered around 1800 by P.C. Wyndham and further modified in the 19th century by Sir Robert Herbert. A service wing was demolished around 1980. The house is constructed primarily of gault brick with 20th-century red plain tiled roofs. There are red brick 19th-century end stacks and a large, square-planned ridge stack in the south-east elevation, along with three 19th-century stacks on the north-west elevation. A three-bay red brick range, possibly 18th century and partially rebuilt, is situated to the south-west.

The house has two storeys with attics. The original three-unit timber-framed building is located on the south-east side, extended to the north-west around 1800, and further expanded to the north-east with two 19th-century additions. This last phase involved rebuilding the main facade and relocating the original entrance to the north-east. A rainwater head dated 1758 has been reused in the north-west elevation. The south-east elevation features ten unequal bays. The main entrance has a gabled porch with attached sandstone columns, free acanthus capitals and bases, a four-centred arch containing a shield of arms, and a six-panelled door with side lights. Three rectangular two-storey bay windows are positioned to the left. Sash windows are found on both floor levels, with varying sizes and glazing bars, set within gauged brick window arches. A parapet gable, slightly advanced and with stone and cornice band coping, runs around the bay windows. A commemorative plaque beside the entrance marks the Queensland Women's Historical Association's recognition of Sir Robert G. Wyndham Herbert (1829-1905). A mid-18th century door has been re-sited in the north-east elevation, accessed via a wooden, rusticated backing and a six raised-and-fielded-panelled door with a round headed fanlight and flanking pilasters.

The interior has been remodelled in the 19th century, with alterations to the original floor levels. A drawing room and library feature a pillared entrance from a passage, and retain two early 18th-century chimney pieces, one with Rococo detailing. Later 19th-century alterations transformed rooms to the north into a library, and blocked a passage. Doors to the drawing room and dining room have fluted architraves and corner bosses; one pair is segmental in plan. A hall chimney piece has been rebuilt using late 17th-century fluted Ionic pilasters reputedly originating from The Grange, Ickleton. Late 19th-century panelled doors have fluted architraves, and an early 18th-century chimney piece has been re-sited in a former billiard room.
