The Manor House

The Manor House is a house that has been converted into offices. It dates from the early 18th century and was partly refronted in the mid-19th century. The exterior is stuccoed, featuring a horizontally-rusticated ground floor and moulded bands above the ground and first floors. The building has a very deep boxed wooden eaves beneath a slate roof, which has rendered end ridge stacks and a slope stack at the front right of center. It stands three storeys tall and has a regular seven-window front, with glazing bar sashes that are shallower on the second floor than those below. The windows have moulded eared surrounds, likely from the early 18th century. The facade is flanked by giant pilasters that extend from the ground floor, featuring anthemion-decorated inset panels and stylised Corinthian pilasters.

The central entrance consists of a panelled door with a diamond and margin-glazed transom-light, set within a Doric half-columned surround topped with a full entablature hood. Inside, there are various early 20th-century bolection-moulded fire-surrounds, including a large double-tiered mantel in neo-Jacobean style at the entrance, likely from the late 19th century. This mantel surrounds a central Swithland slate fireplace from around 1730-40, which has panelled sides, imposts, a keyblock, and a lintel adorned with carved bird and flower relief decoration. The entrance hall features stone flags and heavy egg and dart and ribbon-work cornices.

A stair rises through two storeys at the rear of the hall, with an anti-clockwise rectangular open-well design and shorter intermediate flights, probably dating from around 1720-40. It has iron twist balusters with gadrooned bulbs and square knops, corniced tread-ends, and profiled cheek-pieces. The open ramped rail is supported by columnar newel-posts with upturned gadrooned tops. The sides of the staircase are dado-panelled, with a ramped upper rail and pilasters that mirror the newel-posts.
