Description

The Manor House is a house dated 1692, constructed of brick with some stone quoins and a stone slate roof featuring projecting eaves and bargeboards. It likely started as a three-bay central baffle-entry plan, but the first bay has been removed and a cross wing added in front of the third bay. A 19th-century shooting lodge has been added at the rear left corner, which includes a monopitched stair projection in the re-entrant. The main entry is now located in the right wall of the cross wing.

The house has two storeys and the facade features a two-storey gabled porch with stone quoins at the ground floor, a blocked doorway with a stone lintel inscribed "IS 1692," a window above it, and a blocked peephole in the left side wall. There are sliding-sash windows, including a long Flight window to the left of the porch on the ground floor and a two-light window above it. The left return wall has a window in a blocked doorway at ground floor and a blocked former doorway with a wooden lintel on the first floor above it. The right return wall, formed by the side of the wing and the rebuilt gable end of the main block, has a central door (with a blocked former door to the right), three ground floor windows, and four first floor windows, all of which are casements with segmental brick heads. The rear wall is buttressed and blind in the centre, featuring two ground floor windows on the left and one tall casement on the right, along with a small sliding sash above it; all these windows have segmental brick heads.

Inside, the house part includes an inglenook with a large bressummer that is ovolo-moulded on the face and slightly arched, along with two axial bridging beams that are also ovolo-moulded and stopped.
