Description
Digswell Manor is a house dating from the early to mid-17th century, with attached outbuildings at the rear that were formerly a malthouse. The house features a timber frame with plastered walls and a steeply pitched plain tile roof. It stands two storeys tall and has two late 19th-century flush sash windows. The central entrance is a six-panel door topped with a cut-bracket pedimented hood. The left gable end displays a large exposed red brick stack with battered sides and three joined shafts made of vitrified brick at the angles. The former malthouse consists of two blocks from the 18th to 19th century. The front block has a ground floor made of brick and clunch, with a plastered timber frame upper floor. The rear block features a white brick ground floor and a plastered upper floor, both topped with steeply pitched plain tile roofs. The rear of the house includes one gabled dormer.
