Description

Kilbury Manor is likely a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations in the early 18th century. The house is constructed of roughcast rubble stone with an asbestos slate roof. The stacks have rendered shafts, with the right-end stack having a stone rubble shaft and a 17th-century cap. The original plan consisted of a single-depth, south-facing main range, three rooms wide. The left-hand room is heated by a rear left stack, while the right-hand rooms are heated by an axial and right-end stack. The entrance is located to the left of the centre of the front, leading to the stair. The accommodation has been extended to incorporate part of a former outbuilding in a wing at a right angle to the front right. A stable block at the left end of the main range has been converted into a holiday cottage.

The front of the house is asymmetrical, with three windows. It includes a 6-panel front door, with glazed upper panels, and two ground-floor and two first-floor 2-light casement windows with 10 panes per light. A fixed 15-pane window is centrally located on the first floor. The rear elevation of the main block exhibits sash windows. The stable block on the left end incorporates a mounting block. The front right wing includes a 20th-century lean-to porch, which fronts a passage that formerly separated domestic and agricultural ranges. The domestic part of this wing has a two-window front with casement windows.

Inside the main range, the middle room has waney cross beams, which are plastered over. The left-hand room has a higher ceiling and includes a 6-panel door and an angle fireplace, from which the chimneypiece is missing. The right-hand room has a small fireplace and an axial ceiling beam. Some early 18th-century 2-panel doors are found upstairs. The feet of the principal rafters are not visible in the first-floor rooms.
