Description
Middleton Manor is a country house, largely dating from the 18th century, with significant additions and alterations made in the 19th century. The south end of the house was redesigned in 1828 by George Repton for Henry Thomas Lane. The facade is faced with red mathematical tiles, featuring long and short quoins, a modillion cornice, a blocking course, and window surrounds in Roman cement, the latter being rusticated. The original glazing bars are intact.
The east front has five windows, with projecting bay window sections at either end, incorporating Wyatt windows on the ground floor and iron balconettes above. A large central bay window on the ground floor is likely a later addition, with a balustrade above. The south front presents three windows. A glazed veranda with eight Ionic columns of Roman cement and a balustraded parapet is present on the ground floor. The west front has four windows, one recessed, with a projecting ground-floor section in front of it. A porch with Ionic columns of Roman cement leads to a doorway with a rectangular fanlight and a door consisting of six fielded panels. To the north of the original building are modern red brick additions, spanning approximately ten window bays.
