Description
The Old Manor House is an early 19th-century building in Ventnor, representing one of the town’s earliest structures. It is largely a recasing of an existing cottage or farmhouse, reimagined as a picturesque Gothic “cottage orné”, with a half-H plan. The building is constructed of stone rubble with ashlar quoins. It features a steeply pitched thatched roof and tall external chimneys with diagonally set pots. The wings facing the garden have gables adorned with pierced scalloped bargeboards, and a small, canted bay window on the ground floor. The recessed part of the front has five windows and a bargeboard-gabled half dormer. The windows are wood casements, with French windows on the ground floor. Further bargeboard-gabled half dormers are present at the rear. The building is described as picturesque.
