Bhaktivedanta Manor

Bhaktivedanta Manor is a large house dating back to an 18th-century core, with substantial additions from 1884 and around 1900. It was likely designed by Hesketh and Stokes for G.W. Williams. The house is constructed of brick, steel, and concrete, with rendered elevations incorporating decorative timber framing and stone dressings. It has machine tiled roofs and is built in a Domestic Revival style, originally a villa extended to form a large L-shaped plan.

The front elevation originally comprised three bays, now featuring a central entrance with a bracketed semi-circular hood. Flanking the entrance are ground floor bow windows with decorative leaded diamond-shaped panes, stone sills, and a brick plinth. The first floor has a central two-light window and flanking four-light casements with ovolo moulded timber mullions and leaded lights. Twin gabled sections are topped with four-light windows, cambered lintels, decorative timbers, and bargeboards. A central dormer window is featured with a semi-circular head. The lower ridge indicates the location of the earliest section of the house. Two axial stacks, with pilaster strips and corkscrew brickwork shafts, are positioned centrally. A projecting gabled bay is situated on the left side, with coving to the jettied first floor. A full-height rectangular bay, larger on the upper storeys, is also visible.

The garden front exhibits twin gables and two ground floor canted bays under a lean-to roof. Stone sills are present on the ground floor windows, which sit above a brick plinth. Smaller canted bays feature on the first floor. Jettied gables incorporate decorative timberwork and four-light casements, complemented by bargeboards. A central axial stack has seven decorated shafts. The entrance on the left side is decorated with side and top lights, and decorative glazing. A later addition, set back, includes a smaller pair of gables with jettied bay windows. A ground floor conservatory extends forward, entirely glazed with hexagonal, rectangular, and diamond patterned leaded panes within an ovolo moulded timber frame.

The rear of the house features two-storey twin gables with double jetties and coving. The ground floor has two five-light ribbon windows with timber pilaster mullions. An entrance is positioned on the right, accompanied by a bracketed hood. The first floor showcases decorative timberwork below four cross windows with pilaster jambs, cambered tie beams, and bargeboards. A timber balcony over a four-light window is situated on the right return. The right return extends back with similar detailing, and a gable to the rear has jettied first floors and ogee braces. Wings of one and two stories are present, and there are additional gables in the inner angle of the L.

The interior displays Neo-Jacobean chimneypieces, plaster ceilings, and panelling. A staircase features carved newels and pierced balusters. The property was formerly known as Piggott's Manor.
