Listed Building: Office, outbuildings and attached wall and pier approx 10m north of Duddington Manor (9/98)

Office, outbuildings and attached wall. Probably C17 origins, mainly C18 and C19. Squared coursed limestone with Collyweston slate roofs. Office, to east of range, is probably early C19. Single-unit plan, single storey. 2-window range, to right, of sash windows with glazing bars with plain ashlar surrounds and keyblocks. Panelled door, to centre, has similar surround. Ashlar gable parapets and stone stack at end. Outbuilding, to west of range, is rectangular plan, 2 storeys, built on falling ground with the first floor level corresponding with the single storey office. Probably C17 and C18, remodelled C19. 3-window range, at first floor, of C19, two-light, stone mullion windows. Doorway to right, with flight of steps, has a chamfered stone surround with a 4-centred arch-head. Ashlar gable parapets. Right gable has one C17 three-light stone mullion window. Rear elevation, abutting road, has an irregular arrangement of 2- and 3-light stone mullion windows, at first floor, and a carriage arch, with segmental head, to ground floor right, now used as a garage. The office and the outbuilding are linked by a small lean-to outbuilding. Interior of outbuilding, to west, not inspected but noted as having a late C19 medieval style roof. This room may have been remodelled as a games room. Wall and pier, attached to centre of range, forms part of garden layout with Duddington Manor and attached wall and pier (q.v.) and gates and attached gatepiers approximately 10 metres east of Duddington Manor (q.v.).
