The Manor House - Physical Description 1
The Manor House is a large Victorian house, enclosed on three sides by verandahs. The original entry is to the side of the house, and is not used. The house is generally symmetrical around the central passage way from this main entry, with the entertaining rooms on the left and bedrooms on the right. A scullery remains at the rear. A below-ground well remains near the rear door.
The house is very finely detailed. Of particular interest are some of the internal finishes (wood-graining and painted panels above the windows), the restrained frieze along the verandah, the paired verandah posts on the main facade, and the interesting arcading along the sub-ground/cellar level also along the main facade.
The garden is also a significant component of the property. The layout is very simple, with an entry drive heavily planted with exotics, and turning area (which may be relatively recent), an oak-lined drive to the stables (reconstructed by the present owner). The grandest tree is the Bunya on the main drive, however there are many other fine trees throughout the garden. The timber stables have been built in the last 25 years, apparently to the plan of the original and using the original foundations. The stables have a gable roof with a dormer over the main entry.
At the time of the inspection, the house was completely filled with furniture for a clearance sale, and another inspection would be desirable. The major apparent change to the house is the painting of the face brickwork.The Manor House - Physical Conditions
