Parrs Wood House, Grade II* listed Georgian villa in Didsbury, England.
The building features a square main block with two service wings on the north side and contains three bays across two floors with Neoclassical elements.
Richard Farrington acquired the property in 1795, and his brother Joseph met his end at the house after falling at St James Church in 1821.
The mansion incorporates classical architectural elements, including Tuscan columns supporting a bowed porch and a flying imperial staircase in the entrance hall.
The building currently functions as the sixth-form center of Parrs Wood High School, maintaining its educational purpose established in the 1920s.
The interior includes a distinctive elliptical room on the first floor with features similar to the Cupola Room at Heaton Hall.
