Description
Odstock Manor House is a large house with an attached cottage, dating to the late 17th century, with alterations and additions from the 18th and early 20th centuries. The main house is constructed of English bond brick on a brick plinth with a moulded stone capping, limestone quoins, and a steeply pitched hipped tiled roof. It has brick stacks. The attached cottage, dating from the 19th century, features bands of brick and flint along with stone, an English bond brick gable, and a tiled half-hipped roof.
The main house is an L-shaped building with a two-storey, six-window asymmetrical front. The front door, located in the third bay from the right, is accessed via a 20th-century stone pediment and architrave, flanked by round-arched side lights. To the right are two 18th-century 24-pane sashes with segmental heads, while to the left are three cross windows with hood moulds. The first floor features four cross windows and two 18th-century sash windows inserted into the façade. A tablet set within the wall to the left of the door displays carved arms of the Webb family and the date 1567. A coved eaves cornice runs along the top of the building. A central hipped dormer with a sash window is present on the roof. The right return has French windows and a 12-pane sash window to the first floor, while a single-story 20th-century extension features a 2-light ovolo-mullioned window. The left return has a pilaster with a moulded string course, and one hipped dormer rises from the roof. The rear elevation showcases a 4-light ovolo-mullioned window with a hood mould on the ground floor to the right, and two cross windows on the first floor. Attached to the center is a two-story early 20th-century extension with a pediment, sashes, and a bolection-moulded doorcase to the left on the ground floor; the first floor has ovolo-mullioned windows. Two pairs of diagonally-set brick stacks are prominent on the main roof, along with two hipped dormers.
The interior retains several early 18th-century fittings, including doors with six fielded panels and pulvinated and egg-and-dart moulded architraves with cornices. The main ground floor room boasts a stone fireplace with a pulvinated bayleaf frieze, shouldered architrave, and egg-and-dart cornice. The drawing room has an overmantel with a mirror in a shouldered architrave, an open pediment, egg-and-dart ornament, and an acanthus leaf pulvinated frieze. Stone floors are present on the ground floor. A garden lobby at the rear features a two-bay groin-vaulted roof from the early 20th century. The rear extension contains stairs also from the early 20th century. A first floor bedroom has a stone Tudor-arched fireplace with carved spandrels, a joggled lintel on shafts, and a large first floor room has a 19th-century Tudor-arched fireplace with a cornice.
The attached cottage, of single-story with an attic, has hipped dormers, 2-light cast-iron casements, and a half-glazed door. The right return has one 2-light casement, and the rear has two dormers. A brick stack with a toothed band is visible. The house was occupied by the Webb family from 1541, with rebuilding in the 17th century. Demolition occurred in 1706, followed by alterations in the 18th century. The 19th and 20th-century additions to the rear incorporate reused materials from the site of earlier 18th-century demolitions.
