Description
Grimsbury Manor is a house built in 1836 for E.L. Fisher. It is constructed of ironstone ashlar and features a hipped Welsh slate roof with stone ridge stacks. The building has two storeys and a three-window range, showcasing a mix of Gothic and classical architectural styles. The central entrance includes a pedimented porch supported by Tuscan columns. The doorway features a chamfered soffit and jambs, along with a cambered keystoned head, and has panelled doors that are partly glazed.
To the left of the entrance, there are tall two-light pointed arched openings with French doors, which are topped by a square hood mould with a shield label stop. To the right, there is a similar two-light pointed arched window with a square hood mould and head stops. The first floor has three similar two-light windows, and a large gable-front dormer also features similar windows. All windows are adorned with diamond-shaped glazing bars, and flanking pilasters run through both the ground and first floors. The left end of the house has two canted bay windows. Inside, the property retains shutters.
