Lower Dean Manor

Lower Dean Manor is a former manor house that was held by Llanthony Priory. The earliest part of the building dates back to around 1500, with additional construction from the 16th to early 17th centuries and further modifications in the 20th century. It is built of ashlar stone and features a stone slate roof with moulded cappings. The layout is complex, with the early core consisting of a crenellated range and an 'L'-shaped range from the 16th to early 17th century on the right, along with a 20th-century extension at the rear of this range. There is also a former 17th-century outbuilding, now converted, which is connected to the main structure by a wall on the left side of the early core.

The garden front of the early core is two storeys high and has two bays. On the ground floor, there is a four-light stone-mullioned window with ovolo moulding and a transom. The transom and the window surround also feature double ovolo moulding. The first floor has two 2-light stone-mullioned casements with ovolo-moulded surrounds. The gable of the 16th to early 17th-century range projects forward on the right side and has two storeys plus an attic. It includes a four-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood on the first floor, as well as a single light with a flat-chamfered Tudor-arched surround and stopped hood lighting the gable. The far right bay is slightly set back and features a three-light ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood on the first floor, along with a single double-chamfered light with a stopped hood above the first floor and cellar below. The right-hand return is illuminated by a combination of one, two, and three-light stone-mullioned casements, some of which have 4-centred arched heads. There is a 20th-century double plank door set within a 20th-century 'Tudor'-arched surround, located off-centre to the left.

Inside, the early core contains a fine Renaissance fireplace with a Tudor-arched surround and carved spandrels, flanked by coupled columns on pedestals adorned with raised diamond decoration. The overmantel features stepped mouldings. The 16th to early 17th-century range has deep-chamfered beams and a Tudor-arched fireplace. Beneath this range is a cellar with a Tudor-arched entrance, which has a 20th-century flat ceiling, likely originally vaulted, and the cellar walls are buttressed internally.
