Webbery Manor

Webbery Manor is a house built between 1821 and 1861 for John Cutcliffe. It is constructed of colourwashed stucco over coursed slatestone rubble, with a gabled slate roof featuring overhanging eaves and an early 19th-century gutter to the front. Rendered brick stacks are also present. The architectural style is Regency Tudor. The house has a triple-depth plan, enclosing three sides of a cobbled yard to the rear.

The building is two storeys high, with a four-window front, symmetrical except for a porch centrally positioned, and a two-storey canted bay to the right. The porch has a moulded Tudor-style doorway with depressed arches and sunk spandrels, containing a panelled and studded outer door and a half-glazed inner door with glazing bars. A frieze of blank shields is set into revealed panels on the porch's exterior. Early 19th-century three-light wood-mullioned and transomed windows with glazing bars are set within chamfered architraves, with label moulds over, with pendant stops. There are two 20th-century two-light windows at the top right. The canted bay to the right also has label moulds and deep two-light wood-mullioned and transomed windows with glazing bars set in chamfered architraves. A similar one-storey bay window is on the right side wall, while the left side wall features a canted bay window incorporating a frieze of blank shields in revealed panels.

The courtyard at the rear has a Tudor-style doorway leading to a former chapel on the left. The interior includes early 19th-century Tudor-style panelled doors and shutters throughout. A central hall at the front is complemented by a Tudor-style fireplace in the parlour to the left. The stair-hall at the rear of the main hall has an early 19th-century dog-leg staircase with turned balusters and a wreathed handrail. A room to the front right of the hall has a marble classical-style fireplace with blank shields in the frieze, and a room to the rear has a Tudor-style fireplace and decorative plasterwork to the ceiling. The first floor also features similar Tudor-style fireplaces with cast-iron grates.

The house was built for John Cutcliffe (1778-1827), a former Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1847, it was advertised in "The Times" as being suitable for a large and genteel family, conveniently located near post towns and within a few hours’ drive of the railway.
