Heritage listing

Details SX 79 SW SPREYTON 5/259 Fuidge Manor II Large house, former manor house. Of core, much rebuilt in the C18-early C19, then modernised and enlarged in the late C19. Plastered stone rubble, maybe with brick; stone rubble or brick stacks with brick chimneyshafts; slate roof. Plan and development: large house built down a gentle slope facing east-south-east, say east. The main rooms are in the centre which has a 2-room plan, one either side of the entrance hall and main stair. These rooms have outer axial stacks backing onto the rooms either side. In the late C19 the entrance hall and right main room were. To right (north) is the long dining room with a small unheated service room beyond. A service corridor on both floors runs along the back behind the dining room and main rooms. To rear of the main rooms a service block under twin parallel roofs project at right angles. The left (southern) room here is the kitchen and has a large gable-end stack. The main block continues left (south) of the main rooms with a further 2 rooms. There is one C17 window in the main block. Otherwise it seems all the main block was built in the late C18-early C19 and although it seems likely that the left (south) end was also built at that time it seems to have been radically altered in the late C19 and C20. The kitchen is probably C17. House is 2 storeys throughout. Exterior: the central section of the main block breaks forward slightly from the rest and it has stucco quoins, a plat band at first floor level, a bracketted eaves cornice and plain parapet. It has an attractive and symmetrical 3:1:3 window front. The 3-window sections are in full height projecting curving bays and have tall original sash windows, 15-pane (6/9) sashes on the ground floor and 12-pane sashes on the first floor.
