Before us stands a magnificent example of English country architecture in the Neo-Gothic and early Victorian style. This imposing red-brick manor showcases classic 19th-century architectural features with characteristic pointed gables and tall chimneys. The façade presents a masterful combination of red brick and light-colored stone, creating a striking contrast that emphasizes the architectural details.
Particularly noteworthy are the bay windows with large multi-section glazing that project from the main façade. These not only provide abundant natural light to the interior spaces but also create an expressive play of volumes on the façade. The stone trim around the windows and decorative balustrades beneath them demonstrate the high level of stone craftsmanship of that era. The symmetry in the placement of bay windows and gables gives the building balance and monumentality.
The Gothic elements in the upper part of the building look especially refined – pointed gables with decorative finials and carefully crafted stone carvings. Similar techniques can be adapted for modern façade design of private homes by using, for example, decorative elements in window treatments, interesting combinations of materials, or symmetrical compositional solutions.
The manor is surrounded by a beautifully planned garden with a classic round flowerbed and fountain in front of the main entrance, creating an elegant prelude to the architectural ensemble. Manicured lawns and hedges form a geometrically precise composition, emphasizing the austere beauty of the building.
