Fawley Manor House

Fawley Manor House is a manor house dating to approximately 1600, with 20th-century alterations and additions. It is constructed of brick and flint, with Bath stone quoins and dressings, and some areas of render. The building has slate roofs. The plan is square, with a wing set to form an “L” shape on the north side, and a tower in the southwest corner. It has three storeys and an attic, a basement, and a four-storey tower, with a two-storey and attic north wing. A plinth is topped with a moulded stone cap, and there are moulded stone strings at the first-floor and second-floor window heads. Moulded stone caps and finials decorate the gable parapets, and crenellations are present on the tower. The base of the tower's parapet features two decorative courses of triangles in alternating stone and flint. Large central stacks are visible on the main building, along with four diagonally set stacks and two ridge stacks on the north wing, with three diagonally set stacks.

The east elevation has windows, each with three lights, ovolo mullions, and leaded lights. The main building to the left has two windows set under parapetted gables. The north wing, to the right, is gabled, with two windows and a one-storey 20th-century extension across the ground floor. A two-storey, closed stone porch with a parapet is located close to the right-hand gable of the main building. The porch has central double doors accessed by four stone steps, flanked by pilasters with bases, plinths, and entablatures. The ground floor features fluted Roman Doric columns, while the first floor has Composite columns with a fluted frieze. A panel over the door is surrounded by strapwork and a mullioned and transomed window, with a panelled parapet topped with obelisks.

The south elevation features a two-storey brick extension to the left, with a parapet, a tower in the centre, and a cross gable in knapped flint to the right. Each section has one window, the first-floor window on the left being mullioned and transomed.

Inside, a large open-well newel staircase occupies the entire tower, with turned newels and balusters, a moulded string and handrail, drop pendants, and carved spandrels. Some 17th-century panelling remains throughout the building. A ground-floor central room contains a Jacobean-style fire surround, featuring carved timber ionic pilasters with leaf carvings, a frieze, and a cornice. A matching doorcase is also present in the same room. An original door and carved doorframe remain on the staircase at the first floor.
