Long Marston Manor
Long Marston Manor is a historic building in Long Marston, North Yorkshire, a village in England.
The house was built in about 1800, as the rectory for the neighbouring All Saints' Church, Long Marston.[1] The building was sold by the church in 1939, when it was restored for use as a private house. In 1988, it was converted into a nursing home, but in 2002 was re-converted into a private house. It was marketed for sale in 2008 for up to £3 million, at which time, it had six bedrooms, four reception rooms, plus a garden room, music room and kitchen, and 2.5 acres (1.0 ha) of grounds.[2] It has been grade II listed since 1952.[1]
The house is built of red brick, with a modillion eaves cornice, and a hipped purple slate roof. There are two storeys, fronts of eight and two bays, a slightly recessed two-bay block on the right, and a lower two-storey three-bay service wing on the left. On the garden front are sash windows in architraves with flat brick arches. On the left return is a porch with Tuscan columns, an entablature and a deep dentilled cornice, and a doorway with panelled rebates and a fanlight in an architrave. Inside, it has the original pine doors and case iron fireplaces, with other features dating from 1939.[1][3]
