Wakerley Manor

Wakerley Manor is a house dated 1769, marked by the datestone "John Archer". It has been extended and altered in the early to mid-19th century. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and features a Collyweston slate roof. Originally designed with a three-unit plan, it now has an irregular L-shape. The manor stands two storeys tall with an attic.

The main facade consists of a three-window range, highlighted by a Gothick style gabled porch that projects forward at the center. There is a central outer archway with a segmental arch-head and chamfered surrounds, leading to a similar inner doorway that features a part-glazed door and arch-head sidelights. On either side of the porch, there are flanking French doors with chamfered stone surrounds and Gothick glazing bars. The first floor has unhorned sash windows with glazing bars, set within chamfered stone surrounds that include keyblocks. The porch has ashlar gable parapets with a finial, and there are ashlar stacks at both ends of the building. A datestone is located on the quoin of the north-west corner.

To the left of the main front, there is a two-window range of 19th-century sash windows with ashlar surrounds, while the right gable end mirrors this style. The early 19th-century three-window range in the center and left features mid-19th-century tripartite sash windows beneath gauged stone heads. The gable elevation to the right of the main front is similar to the left gable. A mid-19th-century gable is attached to the right, along with a single-storey extension from the mid-19th century at the far right.

At the rear, there is one casement window in the gable end, set under a wood lintel. Inside, the entrance hall showcases an early 19th-century staircase with a stick balustrade that rises around an open well. The interior also features some six-panel doors. The dining room to the left of the entrance has a Gothick style marble fireplace, which has been reset from the drawing room on the right. The ground and first-floor rooms on either side of the entrance hall include chamfered spine beams.
