Sandle Manor School

Sandle Manor School is a middle-sized country house that has been converted into a school. It has a core that dates back to the 17th century and was remodelled around 1900, with extensions added in the early 20th century. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings, while the later parts are rendered with mock-framing on the first floor. It features old plain tile roofs. Originally, the house had an H-shape plan with a central range of two storeys and four bays, where the end bays are cross-wings that project one bay to the front and two to the rear.

The front of the building is designed in the Elizabethan style, with the right-hand side being the older part. Between the cross-wings, there is a single-storey range. The centre of the building has a projecting porch with a keyed doorway, flanked by columns that support a Doric entablature. This is adorned with corner pilasters featuring finials and an armorial panel surrounded by carvings. Each side of the porch has a three-light mullion window, above which is a parapet wall that ramps up at each end. Behind, there are two cross-windows with heads in gabled dormers topped with ball finials.

The right-hand cross-wing has an external stack in the centre that rises to a swan-neck pediment at the gable level, continuing up as a rectangular arched panel stack. On either side of the stack, there are one or two-light mullion and transomed windows on both floors. The left-hand cross-wing features a five-light mullion and transom window on both floors. All gables have kneelers with ball finials, and there are stacks located behind the main ridge, immediately to the left of each cross-wing. The two bays to the inner house continue in a similar style. The interior is mainly from around 1900, although some earlier features remain.
