Description

CONDERTON CP - SO 9637 - 9737 10/64 The Manor House - II

House, now divided into three dwellings. Late C17 with early and mid-C20 alterations and additions. Coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and steeply-pitched plain tiled hipped roof with large C20 brick ridge stacks. H-plan. Two storeys and attic with dormers. Windows on main storeys are mainly replacement leaded cross-casements. Main west elevation: original part of 2:3:2 bays; the projecting two-bay outer wings each have a C20 hipped-roofed dormer window with a 2-light leaded casement. The central three bays have a central hipped-roofed dormer window with a 4-light leaded casement. A C20 ashlar porch projects from the ground floor of the central three bays to stand just proud of the end walls of the wings; it has a flat roof behind a parapet which has a central segmental section above the entrance. The entrance is surmounted by a broken segmental pediment on moulded corbels which contains an engaged ball finial; it has flanking pilasters, a moulded architrave and a 6-panelled door. Either side of the doorcase is a cross- casement. The left wing has been extended by one bay above which is another dormer window with a 2-light casement. This extension has an additional two- bay wing projecting from its left side elevation with a single-storey wing adjoining its front elevation. All these additions are of similar scale, detail and materials to the original building. The interior is recorded as having retained some early C18 panelling and an oak staircase with spiral balusters. (VCH, Vol 3, prt 2, p 469).
