Heywood Manor

Heywood Manor is a small country house that incorporates one wing of a 17th century house into its structure, which was modified between 1903 and 1905 by architect R. Blomfield. The building is constructed of brick and features an old plain tile roof with lead ridges and stone slate eaves courses. It has an H-plan layout with a double pile central section that is three bays wide, while the wings project slightly and are two stories tall with attics, each three bays long.

The front of the house includes a central half-glazed door set within a doorcase that has pilasters and is topped by cut brackets supporting a shell hood. To the left, there are two cross-windows beneath rubbed arches, and above them, there are one, two, or three light casements. To the right, there is a large stair window consisting of four by three lights, with a large arched light in the center at the bottom. The left wing features four-light casements, with the lower one being transomed and set under a rubbed arch. The right wing, which is the end of the old house, has two-light casements.

Both wings have two-light hip-roofed dormers, and there are four dormers on the central roof. All windows are leaded, and the roofs are hipped. The building has several chimney stacks: a six-octagonal-shaft stack behind the ridge in the center, a three-shaft stack above the left center bay, and a four-diamond-shaft stack on the old right wing.
