Description

The Manor and Quinton is a two-storey plus attic red brick manor house built in the Queen Anne Revival style. It features four bays and has an asymmetrical design with distinctive ogee and semi-circular shaped gables. The windows are a variety of different sizes, small-paned casements, many of which are five-light with timber lintels. The gables of the attic storey are topped with ball finials. The gables of The Manor have a slightly different ogee design compared to the semi-circular gables of the extension known as Quinton, which include inset circular windows. There are tall brick chimney stacks set diagonally, one of which strikingly cuts asymmetrically through a gable.

The east front has a large single-storey entrance porch with stone dressings and a semi-circular 19th-century nailed door with strap hinges. The entrance to Quinton is located in a two-storey connecting bay framed by carved wooden Tudor Gothic windows, with thin pilasters at the corners of each bay at first floor level. Quinton also features a dentilated band and is oriented towards a new garden layout from 1899-1900.

Inside The Manor, the dining room contains mitred wood panelling believed to have come from Emral Hall, along with a new fire-surround. The hall features a large walk-in inglenook fireplace with the inscription "Welcome ever smiles, but Farewell goes out sighing" on the lintel. There are shallow Tudor arched fireplaces on the ground floor of The Manor, a profile that is repeated in the decorative scheme throughout. Most original fireplaces and many fixtures and fittings remain intact. The character of Quinton is more aligned with the Adam Revival style than the Tudor Gothic style of The Manor.
