Description

Manor House is a house dating from the 17th century, with a plaque that is now illegible but is said to be dated 1695. The house was refronted around 1850 and has undergone various alterations and extensions in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is primarily constructed of coursed ironstone rubble with some limestone dressings, and the main front block features limestone ashlar facing on a small part of the rear. The front block has a Collyweston slate roof, while the rear wing has been re-roofed with 20th-century tiles.

The building has a T-plan layout, with the front wing being two storeys high, featuring a blind attic and three bays. The 19th-century front has a brick parapet with moulded stone coping, three-pane sash windows on the first floor, and four-pane sash windows flanking central double doors with marginal glazing. The gables have limestone copings and ashlar chimneys with cyma recta cornices. On the right gable end, below the chimney, there is an illegible plaque with a raised lozenge and cornice. Both storeys of this gable end also have blocked two-light windows with ovolo-moulded limestone mullions and casement cornices. The left gable has two blocked attic windows with similar surrounds and cornices.

The rear of the left bay is ashlar faced with moulded stone eaves and features a 19th-century two-light wooden casement window on the first floor. The lower rear wing is one storey and attic, consisting of two bays, with a brick chimney on the gable end and an ashlar chimney with additional brick flues at the centre. It has 19th-century three-light wooden casements, with shaped stone lintels and triple keyblocks on the ground floor, and attic windows in hipped eaves-line dormers. A 20th-century lean-to porch on the left shelters a well-preserved 17th-century doorway with an old two-panelled door set in a moulded and stopped stone surround with a cyma recta cornice. The gable end features ironstone coping and ovolo-moulded three-light mullion windows with quadrant cornices. Inside this wing, there is a stop-chamfered spine beam with a bracket at one end and a fireplace with moulded stone jambs.
