Description
Duloe Manor is a rectory that has been subdivided into flats. It was built around 1692 for Fincher and underwent extensive remodeling in the late 18th century and again in the 1840s. A wing was added to the north in the 1870s. The building is constructed of stone rubble with a slate roof, featuring a hipped end on the left, a hipped end to a shallow projecting wing on the right, and gable ends at the rear with a central valley. The rear elevation is slate-hung, and there are two axial brick chimney stacks. The original layout likely consisted of two rooms heated by rear lateral stacks with a central passage. The building was extended to the rear in the 1840s and remodeled to create a double-depth plan with a wide central stair hall.
The manor is two storeys tall with a symmetrical five-window east front. The ground floor has four 12-pane sash windows with horns set beneath segmental arched openings. The central entrance features a 19th-century four-panel door with glazed top lights and a fanlight above, complemented by a late 19th-century glazed porch on a rendered base. Above, there are five 12-pane sash windows with horns and a dentilled cornice. The wing added in the 1870s slightly projects forward, with glazed double doors on the ground floor and a 12-pane sash window above.
Inside, despite being divided into flats, many original features such as cornices and plasterwork remain intact. There is an open string staircase from the 1840s with a moulded wreathed rail and square balusters. A segmental arch in the hall is flanked by fluted pilasters, although it has been blocked. Barrel-vaulted tunnels connect the stair hall to the north wing on both the ground and first floors, flanked by chimney flues for the fireplaces in the front and rear rooms. One room on the south side served as the study of Reverend Robert Scott, co-author of Liddell and Scott's Greek Lexicon published in 1843. An avenue of lime trees extends eastward from the front elevation.
