Wellisford Manor

Wellisford Manor is a country house dating from the mid-to-late 18th century, with possible incorporation of an earlier building and alterations in the early 20th century. The facade is red brick in English bond, changing to Flemish bond in the upper courses, while later additions are in Flemish bond. The garden front is roughcast, and the roof is steeply pitched slate with a deep coved cornice on the facade, and brick stacks. The house has a double pile plan with two full-height bow windows on the garden front. A billiard room has been added to the south-east corner, and the north-west corner has been extended and is now linked to the Old Coach House.

The house is two storeys plus an attic, with 2:1:2:2 bays. Dormer windows are in the roof space. A full-height, hipped projecting porch has cruciform leaded windows with moulded surrounds, likely dating to the early 20th century. The porch is semi-circular with a headed arched opening in moulded brick; the inner doorway has a similar arched door head and tessellated pavement. The garden front has 16-pane sash windows on the left side, 12-pane windows in the canted bays, 15-pane windows on the ground floor, and a 6 x 3-pane stair light in the center. A niche is located below the stair light, and a flat-roofed, single-storey, three-bay billiard room adjoins the house.

The interior includes late 18th century panelling, a chimney piece, and plaster cornices in the east room. The west room has only a cornice. The entrance hall is panelled in stained pine, and the staircase has barley sugar twist balusters, both probably dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. The oval stair landing light has late 18th-century Adam style decoration, while the billiard room has moulded beams and plasterwork said to have been built in the 1930s. The evolution of the building is uncertain, but the facade appears to have been extensively altered and reroofed in the early 20th century.
