Description
Arlington Manor is a manor house dating from the early to mid-17th century, with an addition from around 1700. It is constructed of ashlar and random rubble limestone, with ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. The house has two stories and an attic, with a cellar to the earliest part. Service additions are present to the rear and to the south-east end.
The south-west front has a two-window fenestration to the original house on the left. This includes a 2-light ovolo moulded mullioned casement set within a full gable to the left, and 3-light ovolo moulded upper floor casements below and to the right. To the ground floor are restored 3-light casements to the left and a 2-light ovolo moulded casement to the right, all with hoodmoulds. The right side of the front is a c.1700 addition, faced in ashlar and displaying a four-window fenestration with cross windows. A doorway is located to the left of centre, featuring a moulded flat stone porch hood and a 20th-century door. A plain upper floor band runs across the front, and two gabled roof dormers are present. Ridge chimneys with plain caps mark the ends of the c.1700 addition. An ashlar forecourt wall with a coped top rises to monolithic gatepiers with ball finials, and includes a wrought iron gate. A single-story service outbuilding is attached to the right, with a hipped roof and a 3-light casement. A moulded doorway with a 2-light ovolo moulded casement to the right is visible on the south-east end attached outbuilding.
The rear of the house features a single-story, attic service wing projecting from the rear of the c.1700 range. A gable end has a recessed right section with a 2-light ovolo moulded casement above a single-light window. Timber casements with timber lintels are located to the left part of the gable. A full gable with a chimney marks the rear of the 17th-century house. The north-west (road) end shows a gable end with indications of removed single-window fenestration and two small chamfered cellar openings with iron bars.
Inside, a large fireplace with a timber lintel is found in the c.1700 house, flanked by doors in fielded panelling. A fine cobble floor is present in the large cellar. The c.1700 addition appears to have replaced part of the earlier building; some of the original mullioned casements were reused in the service outbuildings.
