The Manor House

The Manor House is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1629 internally and altered over time. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone, mostly rendered, and has a stone slate roof. The building is L-shaped, consisting of a two-unit range aligned north-south with a large one-unit wing at the front and a porch at the angle.

The house has two storeys. The two-storey gabled porch features a small window on the ground floor, likely replacing a former doorway, and a two-light double chamfered mullioned window above. To the right of the porch is a long lean-to addition that contains the current front door and one small window on each floor. A ridge chimney is positioned in line with the porch. The south gable wall has been recently rebuilt and includes modern openings.

The re-entrant of the wing has one horizontal rectangular window on each floor, with the upper window breaking a dripmould that wraps around the gable wall. This gable features two small windows at ground level, one of which may have been a fire window, and a large gable chimney. The north side of the house has been altered.

At the rear of the main range, there is a small fire window on each floor in the centre, with a first-floor dripmould to the right, and a five-light mullioned window on each floor (the lower window has been restored, and the upper window is missing its central mullion). The corner has quoins, and the roof is hipped over this angle, with inserted windows to the left.

Inside, a former lintel in the porch is inscribed "1629". The northeast room features large chamfered spine beams, and there is another beam in the west wing supported by a full-width bressummer. A deep chimney stack is present in the main range, with a salt cupboard on the first floor. A brick partition in the wing extends into the roof space, which is fitted with eight tiers of nest holes for an attic dovecote. Near the gable wall of the wing, there is a large lateral beam, similar to the bressummer below it at ground level, which may be remnants of an intended smoke bay.
