Description

The Manor House is a mediaeval building with substantial alterations from the 16th and 17th centuries, and further changes in the 19th century. The front facade is roughcast and features three gables designed to look like timber framing. It has a stone slate roof. The house is two storeys high, with three plain sash windows on the front. The ground floor windows on the front are French casements. The rear facade is irregular. A recessed wing was demolished in 1976.

The interior has been altered over time but includes a mediaeval great hall, now divided into two storeys. An upper floor displays a tie beam with a carved foliage boss dating to the 15th century. A fine linen-fold panelled door from the 15th or 16th century has been re-fixed. Additionally, a fragment of carved cresting, originally from a screen also dating to the 15th or 16th century, is stored within the house. Six-panelled doors are present. The building is set within a garden, with a farmyard on one side. A moat formerly existed on the site.
