Landguard Manor (or Languard) is a manor house in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire.
The house is to be found off Landguard Manor Road, about half a mile north of Shanklin town centre, beside the Landguard Holiday Camp. The house is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History
The Landguard estate was recorded in the Domesday Book.[2]
An ancient manor house stood here, which later became a farmhouse before another manor home was built at the site in the mid to late 19th century.[3][4]
The house of today was built for Colonel Francis Henry Atherley (1831–1897) on the site of the older farmhouse.
Architecture and fittings
The south facing building was built in the late 18th century. It was extended in 1878 and remodelled in 1906. The original front of the building has five bays, constructed of brick, and featuring stone quoins. Currently, the main frontage is the former east side of the 1878 extension. The irregular facade is of stone and for the most part is Neo-Jacobean. There is a large balustraded porch, probably part of the 1906 addition, with multiple round arches. Some of the internal features include a two-tiered colonnaded hall, a well staircase, and a wing with an arched loggia.[4]
