Description

Manor House is a small country house built in the early 17th century and altered in the 19th century. It features rendered timber framing with brick nogging above a coursed rubble stone ground floor. The roof is made of Swithland slate, with brick and stone ridge and side stacks. The house has an H plan and the front displays four gables. It is 2.5 storeys tall and has five wooden mullion and transom windows with leaded lights: two on the left gable, one each on the centre recessed gables, and a five-light window on the right gable.

On the ground floor, from left to right, there is a painted wooden mullion five-light canted bay window, two two-light wooden mullion and transom windows on either side of a gabled porch with a two-leaved door, and a four-light stone mullion and transom window with a hood mould. The wing attics contain three-light casements with leaded lights, and there is a similar central dormer. The right end has a one-and-a-half storey wing.

The garden front at the rear features two and three-light leaded casements, a five-light canted bay window on the ground floor of each gable, and a one-storey earlier 19th-century brick vestibule spanning the recessed centre. This includes four 15-pane windows and a central French window with an overlight. Inside, there are chamfered beams with curved braces in the cellar and reset 17th-century panelling. The house was partly rebuilt after a fire in the 1830s but is said to retain timber framing behind the render.
