Description

The Manor House is a two-storey late Georgian building originally serving as a manager's house for the Stackpole Estate. It is now used as wardens' accommodation by the Stackpole Trust, having previously been holiday accommodation managed by the National Trust.

The house features a range of three windows on the front and has a partially double-pile plan with a kitchen located at the rear left. A long servants' wing was added later to the right.

The exterior is finished in rough-cast render, with a plain rendered plinth and simple strips at the quoins and eaves. The low-pitch slate roof is adorned with lead rolls at the hips and apex. The front windows are hornless sashes set in recessed frames, with three- and six-pane sashes above and six-pane sashes below. The side and rear windows include a variety of sash types, with the rear servants' wing primarily featuring two-pane sashes typical of the late 19th century.

The main entrance door is centrally located and framed by highly ornamented Corinthian columns and an entablature made of timber and plaster. An unusual upside-down member sits atop the cornice, possibly a remnant of a former raking pediment. The swelling frieze is decorated with bay leaves, and there is fretwork decoration at the soffit of the architrave. The columns are detailed with staved flutes, and the entrance is approached by large slate steps featuring incised patterns.

Inside, the left room contains a dark grey stone fireplace, and the staircase boasts a swept mahogany handrail with turned balusters and newels. The Manor House is listed as a good example of a manager's house from around 1800 and is recognized for its group value alongside other surviving buildings of Stackpole Court.
