Manley Knoll is a small country house to the north of the village of Manley, Cheshire, England. It was designed in 1912 for Llewellyn Jones.[1] Its construction was interrupted by the First World War. In 1922 the interior was remodelled for the Demetriades family by the Manchester architect James Henry Sellers. In the 1920s a billiard room was added. The house is constructed in buff-brown brick with orange brick dressings, and some timber framing and roughcast. The roofs are tiled.[2] Its architectural style has been described as Arts and Crafts,[1] or eclectic Vernacular Revival.[2] It has an irregular linear plan. The entrance front is asymmetrical, in two storeys, with an off-centre porch. To the left of the porch is a timber-framed projection, and to the right is a staircase bay and a service bay. In the garden front are four timber-framed gables with a central loggia over which is a balcony.[2] Each of the gables is decorated with different Cheshire patterns.[1] The house has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.[2]
