Haseley Manor is a Grade II-listed English country house in Haseley, Warwickshire, England.
The house was built from 1875 to 1878, to designs by the architect William Young, for Alfred Hewlett, a coal merchant from Lancashire. [1] It has walls of rock-faced stone and plain tile roofs, and is in the Gothic and Elizabethan styles, [2] [3] including a Gothic turret. [4] It has been Grade II listed since January 1987, giving it legal protection from unauthorised alterations or demolition. [2]
In 1930, the house was acquired by the Birmingham Society for the Care of Invalid Children, and put to use as a convalescent home and hospital school for girls. [5] It was then purchased by Birmingham Education Authority [6] and, from 1941, became Haseley Hall Residential Open-Air School For Boys, [5] and was used as a children's home and orphanage. [5]
At some subsequent point it was owned by W & T Avery. By the mid-1960s, it was being used as staff college by the British Motor Corporation, [7] [8] and its nationalised successor, British Leyland. [9] It was next used as a business and conference centre. [1]
It was acquired subsequently by Spitfire Bespoke Homes who subdivided and converted it into a number of private residences, completed circa 2018, including thirteen one, two and three-bedroom apartments. [4] An additional nine residences, including three garden villas and five terraced houses, were created in its grounds. [4] The project architects were Lapworth Architects. [4]
