Description
Braishfield Manor House is a medium-sized country house dating from the mid-18th century, with wings added in the early 20th century. It features a brick structure with a plain tile roof and is arranged over two storeys and an attic. The central block has five bays and is designed in a double pile layout, while the end wings are two bays wide and three bays long, creating an H-shape.
The front of the house has a slightly projecting wide central bay that includes a six-panel door with a semi-circular fanlight, set within a large doorcase supported by Doric pilasters and an entablature that is broken forward over the pilasters. This is flanked by narrow windows. Above the door, there is a large round-headed window that interrupts the cornice, with plastered niches with keys on either side. The two bays on each side of the central bay contain 12-pane segmental head sash windows under ribbed brick arches, which are adorned with keyblocks and rubbed brick aprons featuring guttae.
The wings also have 12-pane segmental head sash windows under similar arches, with niches between the first-floor windows. A continuous modillioned timber cornice runs along the top. The wings are topped with hipped roofs that have higher ridges. Gabled two-light leaded dormers are positioned above the three central bays and at the centre of the wings' hips. At the ends of the central block, there are early 20th-century stacks on either side of the ridge, connected by a brick arch built on the inside of the stacks, which supports a moulded head linking them. The right end features a two-storey angular bay. The interior primarily showcases early 20th-century enhancements of the 18th-century rooms.
