Manor House

The Manor House, rebuilt in 1791 by timber merchant Thomas Marsh, who was a tenant of Lord Bath, is a three-storey building with an attic, located in Warminster Manor Gardens. The ground floor is connected to offices. The structure is made of ashlar stone, featuring a projecting plinth and string courses at the cill levels of the first and second floors. It has a small moulded cornice and a blocking course, topped by a hipped old tile roof with two chimneys, one of which is ashlar with a low moulded capping. There are two hipped dormers, and the central bay slightly projects from the main facade. The building has glazing bar sash windows, with three on the second floor, two on the first floor, and one segmental-headed window to the right on the ground floor. To the left, there is a two-storey 19th-century angular bay. The central entrance features a six-panel door with an arched fanlight displaying a radiating glazing pattern, set beneath a plain stone Doric porch. A modern two-storey extension to the left is designed to match the original building and includes four windows on the west front. The east front has one window per floor, with the ground floor window having a segmental fanned head. Inside, there is a slender staircase with a square plan and a twisted rail at the base, leading to a galleried landing. The room to the right of the entrance features palmette ceiling mouldings.
