Description
The Manor House is a 17th-century building, with a datestone that is now covered but is reported to have read 1616. This manor house has been altered and is constructed of coursed rubble, with some parts rendered. It features a three-gabled stone slate roof and has two storeys.
On the east elevation, the ground floor includes a central doorway set within a recent stone porch, flanked by a 10-light stone mullioned window that has double chamfering and a central king mullion, although two side lights are blocked. Above this window, there are hood mouldings with decorative squared stops at each end, featuring rounded motifs with geometric patterns. There is also a later, larger 3-light stone mullioned window with chamfering. On the first floor, there is a 7-light stone mullioned window with double chamfering and a hood moulding above, which has decorative round stops at each end and a small light or vent with a semicircular head that is now blocked. Additionally, there is a 3-light stone mullioned window and a 2-light stone mullioned window, both with chamfering, to the right.
The south elevation has a ground floor 5-light stone mullioned window with double chamfering, though two mullions have been removed, and it has a hood moulding above. On the first floor, there is a 4-light stone mullioned window and a 2-light stone mullioned window.
The west elevation features a break that moves forward from west to south, with a central external chimney that has raking offsets. The ground floor includes a 2-light stone mullioned window with double chamfering and a hood moulding above, while the first floor has a 3-light stone mullioned window with double chamfering and a hood moulding, along with a 2-light stone mullioned window. The centre and north wings have later single and 2-light windows.
It has been reported that John Wesley spent the night at the Manor House on 21 February 1746.
