Scagglethorpe Manor

This is a farmhouse with a complex history, dating to the 17th century, with significant additions and alterations in the early 19th century and late 19th century. The original core of the house is from the 17th century, extended to the right and rear later. An early 19th-century extension was added to the left. The building was raised and reroofed in the late 19th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with irregular quoins to the central portion, and an early 19th-century extension in yellow/grey brick in Flemish bond, with herringbone-tooled dressings. The roof is pantiled, with rebuilt brick stacks. The front of the house is one and a half storeys high, with a three-window layout and a cross gable to the left, alongside a single-storey extension to the left end. A half-glazed and panelled double door is located in the centre, protected by an early 19th-century trellis porch. To the right end is a former tripartite 12-pane sash window with a 20th-century French door beneath a continuous timber lintel. A 16-pane sash with a wedge lintel is located to the right of the main door, and two similar windows are present on the ground floor of the cross gable. An unequal 12-pane sash appears on the upper floor of the cross gable, and two late 19th-century gabled half dormers with 16-pane sashes and thin timber lintels are found to the right. Centre and end stacks are visible externally. The extension to the left has a tripartite sash window beneath a segmental arch. A stack pierces the left pitch of the hipped roof.

Inside, an open string staircase features turned balusters, a wreathed and moulded handrail, and elaborately carved foliate tread ends. Bressumers survive on both sides of the central stack, and in a room to the right of the hall, a chamfer-stopped sperepost provides support. This room also contains a corner cupboard with a keyed, round-arched architrave. A ground-floor room at the left end is accessed through a fine early 19th-century door-case featuring a fluted architrave and paterae in high relief. Behind the door is an alcove with two fluted Ionic columns carrying an entablature. The door itself consists of six raised and fielded panels. Raised and fielded shutters and panelling remain in front-facing ground-floor windows.
