Description
North Perrott Manor House, now known as Perrott Hill School, is a former manor house built in 1877 by architect T.H. Wyatt for P.M. Hoskyns. The building is constructed of ham stone ashlar with plain clay tiled roofs, primarily situated between or behind moulded coped gables, and features ashlar chimney stacks. It is designed in a late 16th century style and has an 'L'-shaped plan, consisting of two storeys with attics.
The north-west elevation has ten bays, including a projecting wing. It features a plinth and string course, with sash windows that have transoms and moulded reveals in bays one to seven. Bay four contains a four-light double transomed king-mullioned stair window, while bays eight, nine, and the return wing have secondary glazing bars. Bay two includes a two-storey porch with an open circular archway flanked by paired Doric columns, above which is a carved band and four-light windows flanked by paired Ionic columns, topped with an ornamental parapet. The attic gables are large on bays one/two and three/four, with smaller gables on bays six/seven.
On the south-east side, there is a single-storey orangery featuring a late 16th century style perforated parapet. The south-east elevation has five gabled bays, with two segmental bay windows; a two-storey bay added in 1900 is bay one, while bay four is a single-storey addition. The ground floor of bay two has a three-arched loggia.
The interiors are of high quality and have seen little alteration, showcasing moulded plaster ceilings, wall panelling, a fine staircase, and good joinery throughout. There are also notable timber and marble chimneypieces, including one with a painting. The orangery roof was damaged by a wartime bomb and has since been replaced with a flat roof.
