Manor House

The Manor House is a largely 18th-century building with alterations, likely originally constructed for Christopher Pennington of Up Holland. It is a fine example of a vernacular manor house, demonstrating a symmetrical design alongside traditional features. The building is constructed of coursed squared sandstone, with a restored stone slate roof and brick chimneys. The rectangular plan has a three-bay, one-and-a-half depth configuration, with a projecting gabled porch in the center.

The exterior features a high chamfered plinth, channelled corner pilasters, and plain drip bands on two levels. The porch has a round-headed outer doorway, reached by two semi-circular steps, with a moulded surround and prominent moulded imposts, a recessed fanlight with radiating glazing bars, and a square-headed inner doorway with a moulded architrave and a door with six fielded panels. A datestone inscribed "1718" is positioned above the doorway. The porch also contains a transomed six-light window at the first floor, and a cross-window above, both with moulded architraves, keyblocks, and short straight bands. The principal floors have similar transomed six-light windows. Gabled half-dormers with cross-windows are positioned above each outer bay. All windows incorporate flat-faced mullions and transoms; the windows on the left gable wall were recently renewed. The left gable wall, recently rebuilt, features a central doorway and two cross-windows on each floor, except for a six-light window at the first floor. The right-hand gable wall is blind. The rear wall contains four windows with mullioned surrounds and flat-faced mullions, including two four-light windows at the east end (the lower one altered by the insertion of a doorway) and three gabled two-light half-dormers. There are also two double-chamfered cross-windows to the staircase.

The interior features direct entry into the center of three principal rooms on the ground floor, with a narrow axial corridor and smaller rooms leading to a rear staircase. Partition walls are constructed of brick, though some have been replaced with concrete blocks. Large chamfered beams are present in the east and rear rooms, while other floor beams have been renewed. A dogleg staircase has a closed string, square newels with shouldered panels, turned balusters, and a moulded handrail (the first stage of which was removed at the time of survey).
