Description
Bilbrough Manor is a country house dating to 1902, built for Guy Thomas Fairfax by Temple Moore. It is constructed of brick with rough cast render and ashlar dressings, featuring plain tile roofs and thirteen chimney stacks. Ashlar coped gables are present with kneelers and ball finials.
The south, garden front has eleven windows, with single gables at each end. An off-centre doorway is framed by a moulded ashlar surround, leading to a twelve-panel door. To the right of the door is a two-light mullion window. Above the door is a large coat of arms set within a sunken panel, representing the Fairfax family and dating back to 1595, originating from an earlier house on the site. To the left of the doorway are a pair of cross-mullion windows, followed by a group of three cross-mullion windows, a single cross-mullion window, a further pair of cross-mullion windows (the left one containing an inserted glazed door), and then two altered windows, a filled round arch, and a further altered window. Above, four central single cross-mullion windows are flanked by a pair of similar windows, two three-light cross-mullion windows, and a gabled four-light cross-mullion window, along with a small fixed light. To the right, a pair of tall cross-mullion windows are followed by a single similar window and another pair of tall cross-mullion windows in the right gable.
The east front features a central round-headed niche with a stone seat and raised step. To the left are a pair of three-light cross-mullion windows, followed by an altered four-light similar window, and then a single similar window. Above is a single gable dormer with a four-light mullion window.
The north entrance front presents a four-gabled facade with a projecting two-story porch featuring a four-centered arched opening. Above the arch is a 17th-century coat of arms representing the Fairfax family, and above that, a pair of cross-mullion windows. A continuous run of cross-mullion windows spans the left side, comprising two, three, three, and two lights, followed by a four-light mullion window. Above are a pair of three-light cross-mullion windows and a further cross-mullion window. To the right are a pair of similar windows, a single window beyond, and a single-story extension. Above are two three-light cross-mullion windows, a three-light cross-mullion window, and a small window.
The interior retains numerous original features, including panelling and fireplaces. The staircase has square newels and turned balusters. The hall features a matched arcade with keystones and a four-centered-arch fireplace.
