Description

Nether Worton House is a manor house dating from 1653, with possible earlier elements, and was extended around 1920. It is constructed from coursed squared marlstone with mostly limestone-ashlar dressings and features artificial stone-slate roofs with ashlar stacks. The house has a four-unit plan that has been extended to form a U-shape and stands two storeys plus an attic.

The front facade has outer bays that are battlemented and project forward, displaying a four-window arrangement with three tiers of three- and four-light stone-mullioned windows, all beneath stepped gable parapets. The left gable window consists of three lights with transoms and matches the first-floor windows of the central bays. A 20th-century single-storey corridor connects the projecting bays and includes a gabled central porch with a re-set datestone inscribed "D/WE/1653". The roof features end stacks and a large four-shaft stack located to the left of the center.

On both sides, 20th-century wings extend, with the right wing projecting to the front and the left wing linking to a low outbuilding range to create a forecourt. The rear of the house, which remains unaltered, has a five-window arrangement with stone mullioned and transomed windows on both floors, along with smaller mullioned windows in the gabled outer bays. There are also two-window lower flanking wings that match the main style.

Inside, the ground floor features stop-chamfered beams, while the first floor includes some stop-chamfered joists, re-used 17th-century oak panelling, and two chamfered-stone fireplaces (one square-headed and the other basket-arched). A beam in the left crosswing has an elaborate chamfer stop that incorporates a bar. The cross wings are supported by A-frame trusses with butt and trenched purlins. The main roof has two rows of butt purlins, pegged rafters, and cambered collars.
