Long Marston Manor

Long Marston Manor is a rectory that has been converted into a private house. It dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century and was restored in 1939. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with a purple slate roof. It is two storeys high and has eight bays across the front with a slightly recessed two-bay block on the right. The former entrance, now a garden facade, features glazed doors in bays three and six, 24-pane full-height sash windows on the ground floor, and sash windows with glazing bars on the first floor, all set in flush wood architraves with flat brick arches. A change in the colour of the brick indicates rebuilding in bays five and six on the ground floor. The eaves cornice is modillioned, and the hipped roof has large stacks, likely rebuilt, at each end and along the rear ridge.

The block to the right has two windows matching those of the main range and a blocking course. On the left side, there is a six-panel double door with an overlight, framed in an architrave with panelled rebates, situated under a porch supported by Tuscan columns, which features an entablature and a deep dentilled cornice. A first-floor window mirrors those on the main facade. To the left, there is a lower two-storey, three-bay service wing. Inside, the manor retains original six-panel pine doors and small cast-iron fireplaces, although most fittings likely date from the 1939 restoration, as indicated by the date on the rainwater goods outside. It is possible that the entrance porch was relocated from the main front during this restoration.
