Manor House

House. Possibly late 18th century on ancient foundations, rebuilt mid-19th century, with a rear extension dating from around 1930. The west front displays Flemish bond brickwork alternating red and grey brick stretchers and headers on an old stone plinth. The roadside front appears to have been rebuilt in the mid-19th century using reused coursed squared and dressed limestone with shaped gables of different coloured brick.

The building is L-shaped in plan, comprising two storeys and an attic with a single-storey extension. The roadside front features a flat-chamfered plinth and a shaped gable to the left. This gable frames a rectangular 4-light stone-mullioned bay window at ground floor level with stone-mullioned Tudor-arched lights and carved spandrels; the bay continues upwards to form a 4-light canted bay at first floor level, also with Tudor-arched lights. A 2-light stone-mullioned window with stopped hoods lights the attic.

To the right, a range at right angles features a 3-light stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood and small shaped gable at first floor level. The single-storey extension to the left has a single-light casement with a Tudor-arched stone surround and carved spandrels. The left-hand return displays 4-light stone-mullioned casements with Tudor-arched lights, carved spandrels and stopped hoods; above these is a 3-light stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood and small shaped gable, with a 2-light stone-mullioned casement to the right. A 19th-century four-panelled door at the centre is positioned beneath a gabled canopy with curving brackets, pendant and finial.

The interior has not been inspected. The house is said to be built on the foundations of a cell of Tewkesbury Abbey. The building presents a puzzle: it retains 18th-century brickwork yet displays a largely 19th-century external appearance.
