The Manor House

The Manor House is a detached house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-18th century and further modifications and a new front added in the mid-20th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a flat roof from the 20th century, along with stone stacks. The building has two stories over a basement and a three-window front that overlooks the River Avon.

The central entrance consists of a half-glazed door flanked by Tuscan columns, with a frieze and pediment above. On either side of the door are Venetian windows with interlaced glazing bars. A moulded string course runs along the first floor, which features a round-headed sash window in the center, flanked by the Venetian windows. The building has channelled quoins leading to a moulded eaves cornice and a plain parapet that was formerly balustraded.

The right side of the house has a 20th-century porch and a two-light recessed cyma-mullioned casement window with a dripstone to the left, along with moulded cross windows on the first floor. Three gabled stacks were removed around 1960 and replaced by a plain flat parapet. The left side has been altered in the 20th century with flat-roofed extensions added, including an 18-pane sash window on the first floor and a single-light leaded casement on the ground floor.

The rear of the house, which faces the road, was altered around 1960, replacing the original gabled front with a plain parapet and flat roof. A flat-roofed extension was added to the left, featuring reset bolection-moulded cross windows, chamfered quoins, and a door with six fielded panels and a flat stone hood on brackets to the right, along with cross windows.

Inside, despite extensive alterations in the mid-20th century, some original features remain, including fielded window shutters and doors with four or six fielded panels set in panelled reveals with moulded architraves. The main drawing room on the ground floor, which overlooks the river, has an 18th-century plaster ceiling and cornice, elliptical arched openings with reeded pilasters, and good 18th-century fireplaces. The first-floor plaster ceiling features delicate foliage scroll ornament and egg and dart margins, with arched openings to windows and alcoves also adorned with reeded pilasters. Pre-alteration photographs are held in the National Monuments Record in London.
