Manor House

The Manor House, dating from around 1716, is currently used as offices. It is constructed from hammer-dressed sandstone and features chamfered quoin strips at the corners. The roofs are covered with renewed clay pantiles. The building has two storeys and an attic, with five bays on the ground and first floors and three bays in the attic.

A moulded plinth is interrupted by a segment-headed doorway that has renewed four-panel double doors set in a cable-moulded surround, topped with a grotesque keystone. The doorcase is flanked by panelled ornamented pilasters beneath a pulvinated frieze and a broken segmental pediment. The segment-headed windows on the ground and first floors have architraves with small grotesque keystones and moulded sills, while the square attic windows feature flat keyed surrounds. All windows are renewed sashes with glazing bars.

The building has a heavily-moulded cornice below the attic storey and a narrow corniced parapet coping. It has a two-span hipped roof and four corniced end stacks. At the rear, there is a central round-headed fixed stair window with renewed glazing bars, a flat keyed surround, and moulded imposts, along with a chamfered doorway on the left.

Inside, the renovated interior includes early 18th-century painted panelling in the room on the ground floor to the right, featuring raised and fielded panels above a dado rail, a modillioned and dentilled ceiling cornice, and reeded and fluted Ionic pilasters flanking a missing chimney-piece. There is a renewed two-panel door in an eared and shouldered architrave under an enriched pulvinated frieze and cornice. The roof structure consists of kingpost trusses with through purlins. Late 20th-century single-storey extensions flanking the front are not of special interest. The Manor House was formerly known as Normanby House.
