Manor House

The Manor House is a Grade II* listed house located in Weston Turville, dating from the early 18th century, with a later 18th-century west wing. It is constructed of plum brick with red brick dressings and features remnants of tuck pointing. The building has an old tiled roof with end chimney stacks and a heavy bracketed wooden eaves cornice. The house has a double pile plan and stands three stories tall, with a front that has five bays of sash windows topped with gauged brick segmental arches, featuring a 19th-century glazing pattern. The central entrance consists of a six-panel door with a radiating and wreathed fanlight and panelled reveals, set beneath a restored Doric portico that includes a panelled soffit, columns, pilasters, and an entablature adorned with swags and reeding on the frieze. A semicircular arched window with a 20th-century radiating fanlight is located centrally on the first floor.

The west wing is built of brick and has a low hipped old tiled roof with a coved moulded brick eaves cornice. It is two stories high, featuring a first-floor band, and the west elevation has three bays of gothic patterned sash windows under gauged brick arches, with a semicircular arch at the center and Venetian windows on the side bays. A projecting central porch has canted sides and small Y-traceried windows, with a 20th-century glazed door topped by a semicircular radiating iron fanlight, and Doric pilasters that support an entablature with a dentil cornice.

Inside, the entrance hall contains re-used 17th-century oak panelling with a fluted frieze. There is a 18th-century panelled arch leading to the staircase hall, which features an 18th-century wooden staircase with shaped tread ends and turned balusters. The left-hand front room has plain 18th-century panelling, a moulded cornice, and a wood bolection moulded chimneypiece. The left-hand first-floor room boasts an early 18th-century panelled stone chimneypiece with an early 19th-century gothic patterned grate. The right-hand ground floor room in the west wing showcases a fine late 18th-century carved wood chimneypiece with a frieze depicting a shepherd and sheep, along with a ceiling featuring an original margin with a moulded plaster vine pattern, and 20th-century central panels and a boss.
