Description
Rollestone Manor is a detached house located on Amesbury Road in Shrewton. It dates from the mid-18th century, with an extension added to the south around 1800 and a heightening in 1839. The building features flint and limestone, Flemish bond brick with ashlar quoins, and a Welsh slate roof with brick stacks. It has a two-span roof over parallel ranges, is two stories tall with a basement, and has a five-window front.
The basement includes one two-light hollow-chamfered mullioned window and one two-light casement. The central entrance features a six-panelled door set within a stone Tuscan porch. On either side of the entrance and in the basement, there are two 16-pane sash windows with keystones. A stone plat band runs along the first floor, which has five 16-pane flush sashes in moulded cases, also with keystones. The left gable of the roof has a coped verge.
Attached to the right is a two-story range built around 1800, with a second floor added in 1839. This section has three windows. On the ground floor to the left, there is a four-panelled door, and to the right, a 20-pane sash window with a keystone. The first floor features a plat band and two 16-pane sashes with keystones, while the second floor has a plat band and two 16-pane sashes. The right return of this range has a segmental-arched blocked doorway leading to the basement, and to the right on the ground floor, there is a four-panelled door with a datestone from 1839 above it. The first floor has a 20th-century casement window, and a fragment of a 12th-century capital is built into this wall, which also has dentilled eaves.
At the rear of the left range, there is a 24-pane sash window on the ground and first floors and a 15-pane sash on the second floor. The rear of the main range is constructed from limestone and flint, with the ground floor featuring two 16-pane sashes, one 12-pane sash, and a canted bay window with a lead roof. The first floor has two 16-pane sashes and one 24-pane sash, with two raking dormers in the roof that have casements. The left return of the main range has a four-panelled door to the left, a single-light fixed window on both the ground and first floors, and a four-pane sash to the left of the first floor.
Inside, the manor has reset late 18th-century stairs with Tuscan newels, four-panelled doors on the ground floor in moulded architraves, and doors with fielded panels on the first floor. The north room features a fireplace with panelled pilasters and a dentilled cornice.
