Mantley House

Mantley House is a farmhouse built in 1761 and 1776, featuring Flemish-bond brickwork and rusticated quoins on the front from 1776, with random rubble sides and back. The larger stone quoins belong to the 1761 wing. The house is designed in an L-shape, with each wing three windows wide and one room deep, and includes a stair turret at the rear. It has two storeys and attics, topped with tiled roofs.

The main block has a stone plinth and an entrance front with a six-panel front door located left of centre. The top two panels are glazed while the rest are fielded, with a flat head and V-jointed stone voussoirs. There are horizontal kneelers at each end. To the left of the door is a three-light mullion and transom window with a stone sill and cambered stone voussoirs above, featuring a higher keystone and horizontal kneelers at each end. To the right is a similar window, but its position is partially obscured by a 20th-century conservatory. On the first floor, there are three similar windows, with a datestone located above the front door. The eaves are adorned with brick-on-edge dentils, and the roof is hipped with three gabled dormers featuring two-light casement windows.

The left return has a stone base for a brick chimney, which carries a sundial dated 1777 and restored in 1894. There is a similar chimney on the ridge between the second and third windows. The right return is partially covered by a conservatory on both floors, with two two-light casement windows to the right, having flat heads and no lintels, and a double boarded door between them. Above, there are two similar windows. The right return also features stone steps leading up to the door, with a three-light casement above and a datestone in the top of the gable. A brick chimney is present on the ridge at the house end of the wing. The angle between the two wings at the back is filled by a lower building.

The interior has not been inspected. Mantley House forms an unusually complete group with contemporary or older farm buildings nearby.
