Algar'S Manor

Algar's Manor is a house dating from around 1600, located on Station Road in Iron Acton. The building features a roughcast exterior and a double roman tile roof, with clay tiles and ball finials on the dormers. It has rubble end stacks and is designed in an L-plan, which may have been a remodelling of an open hall with a former cross-passage. The house is 2½ storeys high and has five windows, all of which are 20th-century cross casements. The two windows on the left side of the ground floor are taller than the others. The entrance has been moved to an off-centre position on the left and is accessed through a gabled porch with a four-centered arch. There are five hipped dormers and a single-storey lean-to extension on the right side. The rear wing features an extended garderobe turret and a rear oriel window with six lights and chamfered mullions. Inside, there is a framed and sub-framed hall ceiling, chamfered door frames with four-centered arch designs, and a Tudor arch fireplace with decorated spandrels that bear the letters "IC."
