Deddington Manor

Deddington Manor is a small country house dating to around 1800, likely built for Samuel Churchill. It was extended in the 1840s and in the early 20th century. The house is constructed of marlstone ashlar and coursed squared marlstone, with ashlar dressings, and has Welsh-slate roofs with ashlar stacks. The building has a cruciform plan, incorporating a service range and later extensions.

The Neo-classical style is apparent in the principal front, which faces the garden. A projecting three-storey central section features a French window at ground floor, a stone-architraved tripartite sash window at first floor, linked to a moulded cornice and topped by a triangular-pedimented attic storey with a Diocletian window and panelled corner pilasters. A cornice and storeyband extends across a blind two-storey bay to the left, which features a large panel at first floor. A similar bay to the right is hidden by an early 20th-century ashlar addition. The left end of the range has a shallow bow with three 12-pane sashes at first floor, and matching sashes below flanking a French window. An added bay from around 1840 includes a further sash above a full-height tripartite sash. The roofs are shallow-pitched and concealed by plain parapets rising from the cornices. The right end of the main range, facing the road, displays a symmetrical arrangement of three windows, plus a central doorway with an ornamental overlight and a stone, triangular-pedimented Roman-Doric porch. An added bay to the left has a sash at first floor. To the right, a two-storey blind arch connects to the lower two-storey rubble service range, which has two three-light, leaded casements on each floor, alongside a 20th-century doorway. This range returns to form an L-shape. The rear of the main range includes a three-storey central section with a tall arched stairwell window.

Inside, some contemporary joinery, fireplaces, and friezes remain. An oak staircase dates from around 1840. The house is an unusual and distinctive composition, partially obscured by the 20th-century addition to the rear, which overlooks a small, landscaped park.
