Shiphay Manor, Manor house in Torquay, England

The red sandstone manor features two stories with an off-center porch, moulded brick chimney stacks, and a terracotta-ridged pantile roof.

Originally a monastic grange of Torre Abbey, the current structure was completed in 1884 after William Kitson purchased and rebuilt the previous 1665 building.

The manor transformed from a country club hotel to a riding school before becoming a members club that hosted live performances for local patrons.

The manor now serves educational purposes as part of Torquay Grammar Schools, with dedicated spaces for Art and Media Studies departments.

Adjacent to the manor stands a Grade II listed 15th-century barn constructed from grey sandstone rubble, potentially housing a 12th-century chapel.
