Manor Court Lodge - Physical Description 1
A two storey villa of simple plan and elevat ion but robustly detailed. The plain form is typical for its 1870s date. Fine render embellishment is used: at ground floor for a string course at head height; on the corner of opening reveals; and most prominently on the wide heavy brackets of the eaves. The chimney tops are bracketed in similar form to the eaves . Window and door openings are simple, extending to verandah level on the first floor to give direct access outside. The verandah is particularly fine. It employs a combination of timber and cast iron. The arrangement looks original , however on-site inspection is recommended to determine whether it might be a late nineteenth century alteration. Square posts are paired on the ground floor. Mouldings at the top form a capital on which fl at arch timber brackets rest. Above is a timber frieze frame and a panel of cast iron. At the junction of the ground and first floors there is a fine toothed course in timber. The first floor matches the ground floor with the addition of a cast iron balustrade and the removal of the capital mouldings.
