in the same style; these are repeated in pairs on the fronts of Ingleman's wings. On the garden side, the central door with broken curved pediment was probably the original front door of 1700. Smith-Barry installed 18th-century marble fireplaces in the hall and in Ingleman's library. The house was designated as Grade II* listed in 1962. In 2010, the nine-bedroom house with and other dwellings were offered for sale at £7.3million. Access to the estate is through a gateway with four 19th-century limestone piers. As the driveway curves towards the house, decorative iron railings and pedestrian gates line the south-east side. The brick stable block is from the mid to late 18th century, and its two-storey central block has a copper-clad cupola on Tuscan columns; perhaps a later addition, although there is a bell dated 1765. Around 1820, the surrounding area – including the Old Manor and Manor Farm – was laid out in Picturesque style, with parkland, a ha-ha and tree-planting. A area, encompassing the whole of Conock hamlet, was designated Grade II on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens in 1987. Amenities Chirton has a church of England primary school which serves the nearby villages. Sited near the church, the building began as a National School in the 1840s.
