Pendley Manor

Pendley Manor is a country house that was converted into a hotel in 1989. It was rebuilt around 1874 by Walter F.K. Lyon for Joseph Grant Williams Esq., with the date '1875' marked on the porch. The building is constructed of red brick with Bath stone dressings, featuring a half-timbered jettied top half-storey, tile-hung gables, and steep red tiled roofs.

This large, asymmetrical house is designed in a Jacobean style and has two and a half storeys, facing east and set within extensive grounds. The irregular east front includes three gables and an entrance at the base of a three-storey projecting square tower topped with an ogee lead roof. The windows are stone mullioned and transomed, and the lower part of the building features elaborate carved stonework, including pairs of Jacobean tapering Ionic pilasters and rusticated stonework above. There is a long rectangular projecting bay window on the right, with a first-floor projection and a segmental pediment above.

The south front, which faces the garden, has three gables and a bay with a broken pediment beyond. It includes ornamental stucco panels and herringbone red brick infill within a red-painted timber frame. A balustraded half-octagonal stone bay features mullioned and transomed windows, and the building has stone quoins at the tall pilastered red brick chimneys. The lower range at the north end has terracotta decorative shafts and tile-hanging.
