Description

The Manor House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from 1677. It was extended in the early 18th century and remodelled around 1865. The building is constructed of rubble stone with ashlar dressings and has Welsh slate roofs with coped gables and kneelers. Two ashlar gable stacks are present. The original house, to the right, is three windows wide and features a central doorway with a moulded surround and a decorated lintel inscribed with the date 1677, containing a three-panel door. Flanking this are a three-light and a two-light window, both with chamfered mullions and Tudor hood moulds. Above, a single light window is flanked by two-light windows, also with chamfered mullions. All these windows have two-pane casements. To the left of the upper window is a carved stone sundial and an ashlar plaque inscribed with the words "THOMAS ROBSON Draper Licensed Dealer in tea coffee snuff and tobacco". An early 19th-century wing was added to the left, altered in the 20th century, and is three windows wide. A 20th-century three-light mullion window is located on the left, set into a former cart shed opening, and a two-light mullion window is on the right. Inside, the building retains its original two-bay cross-passage plan and a large 17th-century stone fireplace with a moulded stone hood. The roof is a simple collar purlin design with substantial principal rafters, some of which have been replaced.
