Wightwick Manor is a Victorian house constructed to give the appearance of a home that has evolved over several hundred years. The house is decorated and furnished in the Arts and Crafts style, and is probably the most complete example of a property of this type.

Many original William Morris fabrics and wall coverings are used in Wightwick Manor. Fine paintings and furniture, Kempe glass and de Morgan ware are on display. Wightwick Manor was built by the Manders family, on the back of their successful paint manufacturing business; a business which continues today. The contents of Wightwick Manor are a reflection of the family's tastes and create a very comfortable and homely feel.

Attractive gardens of around 7 acres surround Wightwick Manor, which when it was built, was in open countryside. The growth of Wolverhampton has now completely surrounded the Manor, but you hardly notice it.

Disabled access is to the ground floor only (5 rooms) and there are steps to negotiate. The car park is situated down the road from the house. Disabled visitors may want to ring in advance or when they arrive, to set down outside the house. The garden is also accessible although it does slope in places.

A gallery and pottery are located in some of the buildings adjacent to Wightwick Manor.
