GV II*
Former manor house, now a college. Early C18 remodelling of a medieval house with late C18 and c1900 alterations. MATERIALS: Limestone rubble partly rendered, freestone dressings, double Roman tile roof with moulded stacks to left-of-centre and flanking the early C18 block. PLAN: Triple-depth plan with a top-lit central hall. EXTERIOR: Two storeys, basement and cellar; seven-window front. The central early C18 block formerly comprised a symmetrical five-window front with a freestone parapet, cornice, frieze, rusticated quoins, plinth and raised surrounds to six/six-pane sash windows with some crown glass. The front is now rendered with painted window surrounds. The central bay is covered by a c1900 two storey enclosed porch up to the frieze of the main block. It has a cornice, blocking course and lintel frieze over a three-light stone-mullioned and transomed window (two-light to the returns), over a cornice and triglyph frieze supported by semicircular arches with moulded archivolts and key stones flanked by engaged Tuscan columns with clasping Tuscan pilasters to the quoins with a late C19 half-glazed door. Set back to the centre of the left return, part of the medieval house is visible with a mullioned window to the first floor. To the left is a c1900 two storey rubblestone wing with a roof hipped to the left, a freestone blocking course, cornice, frieze and window surrounds to C19 windows. A similar rubblestone wing to the right, rendered to the front, has a c1900 five-sided semicircular-plan two-storey bay with stone-mullioned windows, those to ground floor have transoms. The rubblestone right return has a two-storey rectangular bay similar to the porch but shallower, with a semicircular arched fanlight over half-glazed French windows. The rear is plain. INTERIOR: The marble-floored hall has Corinthian columns, a spectacular lantern, grotesques, pediments over moulded architraves with paterae friezes. The reception room to the rear has Corinthian columns, painted ceilings, rich cornices and friezes, broken pediments to six-panel doors, a panelled dado, and a fine early C18 fireplace. The building is listed Grade II* on account of its spectacular interior, which constitutes one of the finest set of rooms in the Adam style in the area.
