Description
Wilderswood Manor House is a house dating from 1722, as indicated by the datestone. It is constructed of dressed stone with quoins and has a slate roof. The building has two storeys and four bays. The ground floor features four-light single-chamfered-mullioned windows, while the first floor has three-light similar windows, with the window in the third bay having leaded glazing. The first two bays have plastered mullions. The entrance is located in the third bay and has the datestone above it. The original house has gable-end stacks. The left side of the building has a 20th-century porch. At the rear, there is an outshut under a cat-slide roof, which includes flat-mullioned windows and a round-headed window with leaded glazing to the left. The first two bays were likely originally part of a farm building.
