Description
Tarrant Gunville Manor House is a manor house built in the late 18th century for the Chapman family. It features colourwashed render and ashlar with a slate roof consisting of two parallel ranges and end rendered stacks. The building is symmetrical, standing three storeys high with five bays on the north side and seven bays on the south side. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, and the outer ground floor bays have Palladian windows supported by Tuscan columns. There is a central flat porch with Ionic columns.
Inside, the principal rooms include dadoes and fireplaces designed in the Adam style, and there is a marble chimney piece that is said to be by Flaxman. The house was once occupied by Josiah Wedgwood II.
