Lewannick Manor

Lewannick Manor is a house, probably dating to the early 19th century, with earlier origins. It was extended in the mid-19th century and late 19th century. The house is constructed of stone rubble with a slate roof, and features brick chimney shafts. The original plan is uncertain, but it is likely that an earlier house had a two-room front range with a cross or through passage. The kitchen wing to the rear on the left is also probably part of this earlier fabric. Around the middle of the 19th century, the house was partly remodelled; the entrance was moved to the right, and the earlier passage and right-hand room were remodelled to form an entrance hall and a wide stair hall. A large reception room was added to the right, using the earlier end stack that previously heated the original right-hand room. A second range was added later to the rear of the entrance hall and to the rear left of the mid-19th-century extension. The house contains two early 18th-century sash windows and at least one 18th-century door, suggesting that a house existed on the site before the 19th century.

The front of the house presents an asymmetrical three-by-two window facade. It has a 19th-century porch with a flat roof, featuring round-arched openings in the front and side walls, and a fanlight above the inner 19th-century door. A 19th-century 16-pane sash is located to the left, in the likely position of the earlier entrance, and a further 19th-century 16-pane sash is positioned beyond. Three 19th-century 16-pane sashes are on the first floor. To the right is a taller mid-19th-century extension with tall 19th-century 12-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors. The left-hand side elevation displays an almost symmetrical three-window front with 19th-century sashes, comprising a 20-pane sash to the left, a 16-pane sash in the centre, and a 16-pane sash to the right. There are three 12-pane sashes on the first floor. The rear of this elevation incorporates two early 18th-century 12-pane sashes with heavy glazing bars.

The interior retains original joinery and carpentry details, including a mid-19th-century staircase. The mid-19th-century reception room has an ornate plaster cornice of good quality. Lewannick Manor remains unaltered and unspoiled, retaining 19th-century fixtures and fittings.
