2. Circa 1800-30, former modest country house, probably a rebuild of an earlier manor house, overlooking Peel Park which was developed from the grounds. Two storeys sandstone ashlar with 5 bay symmetrical elevations north and south, and lower service wing to the east. Plinth, sill band, moulded cornice and parapet. Stone slate roof with flanking corniced chimneys. On the entrance front the outer bays project very slightly from the building line giving a recessed quoin pilaster effect. The windows in these bays have eared shallow moulded architrave surrounds. The entrance has a frame of paired pilasters and entablature, probably an addition of circa 1840-50. The service wing has a hipped stone slate roof and 5 windows to both fronts, the sashes retain their glazing bars. The west end of the main house has a 2 storey ashlar bow containing one window, the flanking windows in similar architrave surrounds to those on entrance front. Plain 5 bay front facing Peel Park, the ground floor windows taller, rising from plinth.
