Manna Mead

Manna Mead, dating to circa 1800, is a three-story house with an attic and basement, originally featuring three windows. The house has a slated mansard roof with three square-headed dormers. It is constructed of yellow stock brick with a stuccoed frieze bearing the Prince of Wales' feathers, a moulded cornice, and a brick parapet. Gauged, flat, brick arches frame the recessed sash windows, which have glazing bars. The first-floor windows are taller and are set within round arcading, featuring a stuccoed spring string and cill band with one stucco rose in each tympanum. The ground-floor windows, also in similar arcading, have later, external louvred shutters. A deep, prostyle, quasi-Roman Doric porch features feather capitals and bucrania at the angles of the frieze, along with a blocking course and cast iron railings above. A wrought iron handrail leads up three steps to the front door, which consists of six fielded panels, flanking pilasters, side lights, a cornice head, and a decorative radial fanlight, all set in a plain reveal. Wrought iron area railings are present. At the rear is a large, round bay window extending through all three floors.
