Description
Burghope Manor is a house dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, with later additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of rubble stone with stone slate roofs on the main range, and Bridgwater tiles elsewhere. Ashlar stacks are a prominent feature. The original range, now Burghope Manor, runs north-south, with a 20th-century addition at the north end, and is one and a half to two storeys in height.
The south end block has a slightly raised roof, a west-side stack, and a gable with a four-light mullion-and-transom window on the ground floor and a five-light window above. Two of the lights in the upper window are blank, while the others have cusped pointed heads, three of which are ogee, matching 19th-century windows on the service wing. The east side features a dormer gable with a hollow-moulded three-light window and hoodmould, and a 20th-century mullion window under the eaves. A ground-floor French window and an ovolo-moulded three-light mullion window are also present. The east front continues with one ridge stack and a coped gable, with a north stack at the original north end. Two large dormer gables contain three-light windows, and a smaller gable to the left has a two-light window, all ovolo-moulded. The large gables have apex blank panels. On the ground floor are a door within a coped gabled ashlar porch with a Tudor-arched entry, a single-light oak frame, a 19th or 20th-century three-light window with arched-headed lights, and a three-light mullion window with a hoodmould, small-paned windows and a central sash. Windows generally have leaded lights. A two-window 20th-century range extends to the right.
A rear service wing, now Burghope, extends west from the south end. It is two storeys high, has two ridge stacks, and a three-window range of mullion windows with cusped pointed lights. It features a central gable with a 1881 date plaque. Attached to the north end of the original house, running parallel to the rear, is a stable range, likely from the 18th century, with three ground-floor doors and a circular pitching eye in the gablet.
Inside the main house, a very large hollow-moulded Tudor-arched fireplace backing onto the entry has faded painted text in Gothic script, said to be "Remember the Sabbath". An adjoining room features a four-panel ceiling with deep, chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
