Came across this bat (pipistrelle?) in the basement of an abandoned Victorian manor house.

Abandoned Victorian manor house

And you're sure it's not a vampire in disguise?

Probably. OP has a bit of a problem with bright lights since, looking a bit pale and ever so thirsty, must be the flu though.

It's great that you encountered a bat but FYI it looks like you might have broken the law by taking that photo:

I didn't deliberately disturb him. I was passing through and needed my torch. Thought it was a fungus or polyp of some sort (the basement was full of weird growths) and snapped a quick pic as it moved and peeked its little furry face out. I dimmed my torch and passed through quickly. There were a few others but I ignored them.
