Morestead Manor

Morestead Manor is a manor house dating from the late 17th century to the early 18th century. It is constructed of brick with random blue headers and features an old plain tile roof. The original structure is L-shaped, with a five-bay front and two bays deep, and a four-bay garden front that is also two bays deep. A further bay was added to the garden front in the late 18th century, along with a two-bay wing added to the rear of the entrance front on the right, with the area between this and the other wing filled in during the 19th century.

The entrance front is two storeys high, built on a plinth and partly on a cellar, with the central bay slightly projecting. A 19th-century glazed porch, which is gabled and made of timber on a brick base, features a central top-glazed door in front of this bay. To the left of the door are two 18th-century, altered 19th-century, 12-pane sash windows with under-rubbed brick heads. To the right are three similar windows, but with four panes. There is a string course at the first floor level. The left three bays have original cross windows with leaded lights and wrought iron casements, while the right two windows are 18th-century four-pane sashes. The eaves cornice is moulded and modillioned, breaking forward without modillions over the central bay. The roof is hipped, featuring a large ridge stack on the right wing and hipped dormers on the other roof faces.

Inside, there is a full-height original staircase with turned balusters, a moulded handrail, and square section newels topped with ball finials. The fireplaces are from the 18th century and were originally from Longwood House, which was demolished in 1880.
