Barcote Manor

Barcote Manor is a country house built around 1876 by Thomas Henry Wyatt for William West, who was a director of the Great Western Railway. The house features English bond brick construction with limestone ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a tile roof. It has a complex plan and is designed in the Tudor Domestic style, standing two storeys high with an attic and comprising four bays.

The façade displays a 1:1:1:1 arrangement of windows, which includes stone mullioned and transomed windows with label moulds. A recessed bay with French windows leads to a four-light window, flanked by a square bay with a strapwork parapet on the left gabled wall and another square gabled bay on the right. The attic features one- and three-light windows, and there is a gabled full dormer with bargeboard. The gabled roof is adorned with ball finials on the kneelers and at the apex.

On the right side wall, there is a bay window with a strapwork parapet. At the rear, a gabled timber-framed porch serves as the main entry, featuring carved oak spandrels above a four-centred arch and diamond lattices in the leaded lights. This porch is connected to a gabled stair turret that has a label mould over a four-light stone mullioned and transomed stair light, which is stepped at the base and includes stained glass windows. The rear right side has a seven-window range in a similar but more asymmetrical style, featuring oriel windows and a polygonal turret topped with a pyramidal roof. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
