Heritage listing

Details NEMPNETT THRUBWELL 1763/0/10006 NEMPNETT THRUBWELL 15-FEB-08 Belvedere Manor GV II House, former parsonage. Probably C16 with later additions and C20 alterations. MATERIALS: Local rubble stone, coursed to front and random to the other elevations. Fenestration is late C20, though there is a C16 window with ovolo moulding. Double Roman tile roof with end stacks and an off-centre ridge stack. PLAN: Accretional plan consisting of a west-east range that was twice extended eastwards, prior to 1885. At the west end is a single storey lean-to, built at right angles to the main part of the house, which has been extended to the north, north east and south in the C20. It is of lesser interest. EXTERIOR: The front (south) elevation is of five bays; of which the three westernmost bays represent the original extent of the house. It appears to have been re-fronted when the east end of the house was first extended. A vertical joint in the masonry between bays four and five indicates where it was then extended by a further bay, prior to the late C19. A late C20 entrance porch towards the west end is flanked by timber casement windows with camber-headed brick lintels. Further right is a pair of French doors, also beneath a brick lintel, and to the right hand end are two two-light windows with a continuous concrete lintel. At first floor are five C20 dormer windows. The rear elevation has been extended northwards with the addition of a single storey conservatory that serves as a link corridor and runs most of the length of the house. The original external north wall of the house is visible through the glazing of the corridor and consists of, from right to left: a three-light mullioned window with ovolo moulding; the four-centred doorway to the cross passage; and a flat-headed open
