Croyde Manor

A house built around 1790. It is constructed of rubble with a gable-ended roof covered in scantle slate, with 19th-century crested ridge tiles and shaped brackets supporting the deep eaves. Brick stacks are located at each gable end. The house has a double pile plan, with internal corridor partitions removed. It has two storeys and three bays of hornless sash windows with 8 over 8 panes, each with a slightly cambered brick lintel and a plain plat band. All windows retain their original glass. Two similar sash windows flank a shallow Doric porch featuring fluted pilasters and a Doric entablature. The front door is a six-panelled door with a barred fanlight set within a panelled reveal. A plaster cornice remains in the principal room to the left. Largely original marble chimney pieces and internal joinery are present. An open-well staircase features a large round-arched stair window to the rear, with a wreathed handrail, stick balusters, and original treads. A two-storey outshut with a slate roof and a pantiled extension is located to the rear right end. Slate-hanging covers the left-end gable walls. It is presumed that the front of the building was once plastered.
