Delcombe Manor

Delcombe Manor is a country house built around 1750, incorporating medieval materials from Milton Abbey. The walls are primarily flint and stone banding, with some plastered areas. The roofs are a mix of tile and slate, featuring coped gables and ornamental finials. The architectural style is Romantic Gothic.

The house is largely two stories high and includes later brick and slate rear wings. To the left is a building known as "The Chapel," set at a right angle to the main range. This has flint and stone walls, a tiled roof with a gable and finial, a two-light square-headed stone mullioned window with arched lights at the lower level, and a simple rectangular window above. Within the chapel remain parts of a four-centred arched stone fireplace. A single-story link block of stone, flint, and brick connects the chapel to the main house, forming an open verandah.

The main house section has plastered walls and a hipped slate roof, with plastered end stacks and a central ashlar stack with a moulded cap. The front facade has three gables, the central one slightly projected and featuring diagonal buttresses. The outer gables rise from the eaves with timber bargeboards. The hipped roof is a later addition; the original profile matched that of Garden Cottage. A central gabled porch has stone coping and a finial, with diagonal buttresses and a segmental-pointed doorway with a part-glazed door. The front includes 3-light mullioned and transomed windows with leaded lights on the ground floor, and two 4-light and one 3-light mullioned windows with leaded lights above. To either side of the central gable on the ground floor are single 3-light mullioned and transomed windows with leaded lights; the first floor has single 3-light mullioned windows with leaded lights.

To the right of the main house is a single-story and attic block of flint and stone banding with a hipped slate roof and one brick stack. Features here include a ledged door, a casement window with glazing bars, and a small loop light. The attic has a flat-roofed dormer with lead lights. A screen wall of flint and brick banding with battlements links the house to Garden Cottage. This wall incorporates a four-centred arched opening with quatrefoil panels in the spandrels, with carved stonework depicting Abbot William’s rebus (A. W. with a "mill" on a "turn") dated 1515.
