Maperton House

Maperton House is a large detached house located on the site of a former manor house. It was primarily built in 1802 and 1876, but it also includes some fragments from the 18th century. The exterior is constructed from Ham stone ashlar and features plain clay tile roofs behind parapets, with some coped gables topped with ball finials and stone chimney stacks. The house has an 'L' plan with various additions and consists of two storeys with attics and three storeys in parts.

The west entrance elevation has six bays, with the first two bays rising to three storeys and featuring separate gables, which date from 1876. The first and second bays have plain sash windows set in ornamental surrounds, while the remaining windows on this side are 12-pane sashes, paired in the lower part of bay two. Bays five and six project outward for two bays, with bay five featuring an open porch supported by Doric columns that protect heavy studded and panelled doors. Bay six has a full-height angled bay window with single sashes on each level of each face.

The south elevation consists of seven bays, with the central bay rising three storeys. This side includes a plinth, pilasters at the corners and flanking the central bay, a cornice, and a plain parapet with urns above the pilasters, likely all from 1802. The windows are 12-pane sashes within architraves, with added sidelights at the centre bay. The ground floor of the central bay features French doors beneath a 19th-century open iron latticework porch with a lead-covered bell-hip roof. In the south-east corner, there is a single-storey orangery from 1876, which is built on a curve and has been recently restored.

At the east end of the north elevation, at ground floor level, there are two 4-light hollow-chamfer mullioned windows from the late 18th century, and one doorway corresponds to this date. Inside, the house retains many fine early 19th-century features and has seen little alteration, aside from a late 20th-century addition on the east side and the demolition of some work on the north side.
