Buckland Manor

Buckland Manor is a manor house with a front range rebuilt in 1762, featuring a symmetrical facade, alongside two earlier, right-angled ranges to the rear, forming a three-sided courtyard. The upper range likely dates to the early 17th century, potentially incorporating earlier features. The lower range is probably later, and was extended in the 18th century. A further substantial three-storey wing from the 18th century is set back and extends from the right gable end of the main range. The construction combines rubble and dressed stone with slate roofs. There are offset brick stacks and gable-ended rubble stacks visible. Two stacks on the upper range have inward sloping caps and crenellations at the top of unknown date. A large lateral stack is on the outer side of the lower right-angled range.

The main range is two storeys and an attic storey, with four hipped roof dormers, each with a slated roof and two-light casements. It has a seven-window front of sashes, with nine panes over nine panes. The sashes on the lower level also have nine panes over nine. The left-end opening has been altered and features marginal glazing bars. Window openings have flat stone arches with keystones. A slate sundial dated 1789 sits above a slightly projecting porch with Tuscan columns and a plain cornice. Brick flanking walls sweep up to each gable end; the one to the right has a doorway with a glazed door and a sundial above, dated 1759. A datestone of 1762 features a heraldic shield, and an 18th-century rainwater head is at the left gable end.

The 18th-century wing to the right has a two-level slate roof. The upper level has two top-floor wooden sashes, three first-floor sashes, and a tripartite sash with eight panes over eight panes. A sliding sidelight sash and a half-glazed door are on the ground floor to the right. The lower end bays have two sashes on each floor, with glazing bars. The right-angled wing at the upper end has openings with hoodmoulds and label stops, including a four-light stair window. The lower wing features an axial wooden bell turret with a roof swept up to ball finials, and outshuts with lean-to roofs on the outer side.

The principal rooms in the front range retain 18th-century fittings, including bolection panelling and foliated plaster centrepieces to the ceilings. The staircase in the lower right-angled range retains the original balusters for the lower flight. Original roof trusses with arch-braced collars and threaded purlins survive in the upper right-angled range and in the angle of its junction with the main range.
