Description
Manor House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house, dated 1681 on the lintel and altered over time. It features large dressed sandstone blocks arranged in graduated courses with quoins and has a stone slate roof. The building has a two-unit central-lobby-entry plan, standing two storeys high with two symmetrical bays. A continuous dripmould runs over the ground-floor openings, stepping over the door. On each side of the door, there are recessed 4-light mullioned windows, each missing the centre mullion, and evidence of a former single-light window at the left end. The first floor has a double-chamfered single-light window above the door, with 3-light windows on each side that have plain surrounds and flat-faced flush mullions. To the right of the centre window, there is a square sundial dated 1683, which is likely out of orientation. A large corniced ridge chimney aligns with the door, and there is a chimney at the junction with another section of the building. The stone slate roof continues with Nos. 53 and 51 to the left.
Inside, the left-hand room features a large and very fine stone fireplace with a corbelled segmental arch, where the corbels are cut in one piece with the outermost voussoirs. It also has stepped voussoirs and a moulded cornice, along with a large longitudinal chamfered beam and chamfered joists, all with triangular stops. A longitudinal partition wall has been inserted towards the rear, creating service rooms.
Historically, it is said to have been built as a house for the schoolmaster of Guiseley.
