Description
The Manor House, dating from the mid-18th century, features 20th-century alterations and is marked by an inscribed tablet stating "BIRTHPLACE OF JOHN FOSTER THE ESSAYIST BORN 1770". Attached to the left are a barn and a cottage, both dated 1814. The building is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof and has two storeys. It has a symmetrical two-cell front with a doorway that has monolithic jambs, flanked by added bay windows featuring three tall lights and a red tile roof. The first floor retains five-light flat-faced mullioned windows, with a date plaque positioned between them. The corners of the building are quoined, and there are gable stacks.
The barn includes a semi-circular arched cart entry with a simple Venetian window above, which has an inscribed lintel reading "M 1814 C". There is a mistal doorway to the left. The single-cell cottage to the right has a doorway with monolithic jambs next to a three-light flat-faced mullioned window, and above it, there is a four-light window on the first floor. The cottage features one stack at the ridge, quoins, and a coped gable with kneelers.
