Mount Manor House

This is a late 16th-century house, with additions from the 17th century, that was restored and extended in the early 19th and 20th centuries. The house now serves as offices. The original timber frame is clad below in red/orange brick, with plain tile hanging above on the left side and club tile hanging on the right. It has plain tiled roofs. The building is two storeys with a gable attic to the right, and stacks at the rear. The gable end to the right sits on a plinth with a moulded brick string course above the ground floor. A large window rises through this string course to the first floor, featuring a three-light casement over three Y-tracery arched-head "Gothick" lights on the ground floor, with wooden panels incorporating St. Andrew’s cross bracing between them. There’s a round, curved bow window on the right-hand return front of the gable at ground floor level. This bow window has an eaves cornice and curved glazing bar tracery, with paired arched-head lights in the centre and single lights on either side. A three-light mullioned and transomed window is positioned above. A former entrance is on the right-hand return front, featuring a gabled porch that juts out over a timber and brick plinth with arch-braced panels to the sides and diamond-shaped decorative panels flanking the entrance arch. A further gable projects to the right, incorporating a window on each floor. Late 19th and 20th-century extensions extend from the left, incorporating a former service wing at a right angle to the main gable. A concrete-tile roofed pentice shelters a first-floor window at ground floor level. Modern sash and casement windows, and a glazed door, are located on the left-hand side of the ground floor recess. Further extensions to the left end are not of architectural significance.
