Haseley Manor, Warwickshire

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]
