Winwick Manor And South Wing Of Winwick Manor

This is a manor house, now divided into two houses, dating back to the 16th century, with substantial alterations and additions around 1920 by Morley Horder. It is constructed of brick, featuring diapering, and originally had a plain-tile roof. The building was initially designed with a half H-plan, but now presents as an L-plan with various extensions. It is two storeys high with an attic.

The garden front features a cross wing to the right of a three-window range. This range has 3-, 6- and 8-light stone mullion windows, some with transoms and arch-headed lights, all fitted with leaded glass. Some evidence of re-fenestration is apparent on both the ground and first floors. A larger projecting cross wing is positioned to the left, adjoined by a smaller cross wing now used as a porch. The cross wing displays large ashlar quoins and ashlar gable parapets. Tall brick stacks are visible on the ridge, dating to around 1920. An eight-window range was added to the right in 1920, matching the style with 2- and 3-light stone mullion windows. A central gable and a similar gable to the left are also present. The left-hand elevation has a three-window range of 2- and 3-light stone mullion windows with transoms. A central, projecting two-storey porch, likely added when the house was reduced in size, features a glazed door beneath a moulded stone segmental arch, also dating to around 1920. A recessed attic gable behind the porch contains a 3-light stone mullion window with arch heads. The rear elevation retains some original 2-light stone mullion windows on the right side. A three-storey projecting porch and range to the left are from around 1920.

Inside, the library has an open fireplace with a moulded stone surround. The drawing room, to the right of the entrance hall, contains two fireplaces, one featuring simple strapwork decoration and a carved wooden overmantel. The panelling in this room was reset from elsewhere in the house around 1920, as was the 17th-century style plaster ceiling. The main staircase, rising around a well with quarter landings, is likely from the 17th century and has flat tapering balustrades, handrails with dentilled mouldings, and continuous panelled newels. Two first-floor rooms have fireplaces with moulded stone surrounds. Foundations discovered during construction in 1920 suggest that a hall and a wing similar to the current wing once occupied the area now covered by the 1920s extension.
