Description

Apsley Manor House is a house dating from the early 16th century, with alterations made over the years. It features a timber frame with brick infill, some of which was renewed in the 20th century. The main wing was originally jettied at the front but was underbuilt in brick in the late 18th to 19th century. The rear of the house is partly roughcast, and the lower cross wing to the right has been largely rebuilt in brick, with the upper storey of the front gable covered in whitewashed roughcast. There are brick extensions at the rear and old tile roofs, with a rebuilt chimney of thin brick located between the left bays. The house has a T-plan layout, with a small staircase extension in the rear angle and the left bay of the main wing added in the 17th century.

The house is two storeys high and has four bays. The front features irregular barred wooden casements, mostly from the 20th century, along with a 20th-century door set in an arched brick and roughcast porch located in the angle between the wings. There is an old three-light leaded casement in the rear gable of the cross wing, with an iron catch decorated with a pierced face and crown. Another old two-light leaded casement is found in the rear staircase gable. The rear includes a 19th-century gabled extension at the centre and a lean-to to the left, along with a small 20th-century brick extension at the northeast end.

Inside, the central bays feature large moulded cross beams and moulded joists with moulded stops. The roof in this section is divided into one broad bay and two narrow bays, supported by queen strut trusses and arched wind-braces. The cross wing has queen strut trusses and curved braces, and there is an ovolo moulded spine beam in the left bay, along with an altered staircase. The house is situated on a moated site.
