Description
Ledburn Manor House is a house that dates from the mid-18th century, with a small early 16th-century wing that was extended in the 17th and 18th centuries at the rear, and 20th-century extensions to the west. The front of the 18th-century section is constructed of vitreous header brick with red brick strips beside the windows, a moulded brick plinth, stone quoins, a narrow moulded stone cornice, and a brick parapet. The openings feature gauged brick heads with stone triglyph keyblocks. The roof is covered with old tiles and has stone-coped gables, with brick chimneys that have stone cornices at the gables and to the right of the centre. The house is two storeys high with an attic and has five bays, with the three central bays grouped more closely together. It has 3-pane sash windows with thick glazing bars and architrave frames, which were likely once longer but now have later brick panels below. The two left bays include dormers with paired wooden casements. The central entrance features a 20th-century half-glazed door with a 3-pane rectangular fanlight above. The 20th-century extension to the left is a single storey with three bays of sash windows. The right gable has two later sash windows with segmental heads.
At the rear, there is a shorter parallel range made of chequer brick with a first-floor band course, featuring two leaded cross casements on each floor, with the upper ones having cambered heads. The attic includes a single barred wooden casement. The door to the left is a six-panelled design, top-lit, set in panelled reveals with a wooden doorcase featuring Doric pilasters, a triglyph entablature, and a modillioned pediment, along with a transomed leaded light above.
Inside, the two early 16th-century bays have curved wind-braces in the roof and a central truss with chamfered arched braces to the tie beam and heavy queen struts above. The front range includes a re-set early 17th-century moulded stone fireplace with a four-centred arch in the ground floor room to the left.
