Sevenhampton Manor

Sevenhampton Manor is a former manor house, now divided into two separate properties. It largely dates to the 17th century, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, covered by a stone slate roof, with stone stacks. The original core of the building is located at the southern end, and may have originally been 'H'-shaped.

A 19th-century extension was built in two phases, followed by a 20th-century extension with a projecting gable. The original 17th-century section features two and a half storeys, and originally had a four-windowed façade with twin forward-facing gables at each end, although the right-hand bay was destroyed by fire around 1950. The ground and first-floor windows of the main body are 19th-century three-light stone-mullioned casements with transoms. A three-light stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood provides light to the upper floor of the left-hand gable. A 20th-century porch, located off-centre to the right, has a plank door with strap hinges, set within a 'Tudor'-arched surround with a stopped hood. Dripmoulds are present over the ground and first-floor windows. The right-hand wall of the burnt-out bay has three 19th-century three-light stone-mullioned casements with transoms. A central 4-centred arched doorway has a moulded surround, bag stops, and a stopped hood.

The 19th-century extensions step down the slope to the left, featuring two storeys and a three-by-one window arrangement, with a mixture of two, three, and four-light casements, one incorporating a king mullion. A 20th-century door has a reused, flat-chamfered, 4-centred arched surround. A further 20th-century Cotswold-style extension also steps down the slope to the left, with two storeys, 1, 2, and 3-light stone-mullioned casements, and a single-storey extension to the left. The gable end has saddleback coping and pointed finials. Gable end and axial stacks are present.

The interior of the early core retains 19th-century panelling in the dining room, designed in the 17th-century style and incorporating carved decorative panels with motifs including paired dragons, foliate 'S' scrolls, single plants, and a four-lobed design. Some of the decorative panelling dates to the 17th century. There are also 19th-century, 17th-century style friezes on three sides of the dining room. A fine 17th-century stone fireplace has a moulded 'Tudor'-arched surround with jewelled stops, an ornate cornice shelf with stepped mouldings and a pulvinated frieze, and jewelled stops to the tie beams. An early 19th-century open-well staircase features an open string and column-on-vase balusters. Door frames have reeded architraves, and ornate early 19th-century cornices are found in the hall and a room to the left of the hall. Fireback bricks dated 1560, bearing a moulded motif of a lion rampant flanked by two fleur de lys and a four-petalled flower, were removed from the hall fireplace, suggesting the house incorporates elements of an earlier building. The house was owned by the Lawrence family in the 16th and 19th centuries.
