Afton Manor

Afton Manor is a large house built around 1725, with early 19th century and early 20th century alterations. It is constructed of chequerwork ashlar and stone rubble, featuring a hipped tiled roof with end brick chimneystacks. The building has two storeys and attics, with a basement that is now closed in, and it includes seven windows. Notable architectural details include a wide moulded wooden eaves cornice, a stone stringcourse, and a deep plinth. There are three cambered dormers with 12-pane sashes and seven 12-pane sashes with wide glazing bars and keystones on the ground floor. The central porch, added in the early 20th century, has two unfluted Greek Doric columns, two pilasters, and an entablature, which is now closed in.

The right side elevation has five windows and an additional bay, also from the early 20th century, featuring a 16-pane sash and a half-glazed door with a four-light bay to the rear. Inside, the Morning Room boasts early 18th century pine panelling with a dado rail, an early 18th century wooden fireplace with a lion's skin, an eared architrave with ovolo moulding, and a circa 1830 iron firegrate adorned with swags, paterae, and anthemion motifs. The Dining Room includes early 20th century shell alcoves with serpentine shelves.

A well staircase from around 1911 features three turned balusters on each tread and a column newel. The first floor hall has early 18th century panelling, while the master bedroom contains early 18th century pine panelling and a marble fireplace with an early 19th century basket grate. Another bedroom features panelling and an early 19th century Gothic style fireplace with diamond and quatrefoil motifs, along with a duck's nest grate depicting a lady with cupid and an urn. A third bedroom also has early 18th century panelling and an early 19th century firegrate. The attic includes a Billiard Room with a late 19th century fireplace, and the basement contains early 18th century wine bins. Afton Manor is recognized as one of the original Domesday Manors.
