Description
Manor House is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th to 20th centuries. It is constructed from ashlar and coursed rubble stone, with red brick at the rear. The roof is made of Swithland slate, featuring brick ridge and end stacks. The building has a stone plinth and dressings, along with stone coped gables that have kneelers. There is a gabled cross wing on the right side.
The house is 2 1/2 storeys tall and features stone mullion windows, most of which have hood moulds and leaded lights. On the first floor, there are two 4-light windows, a 2-light window on the projecting gable's inner return, and a 4-light window on the gable front. The gable attic has a 3-light window. On the ground floor, from left to right, there is a 4-light window, a 2-light window, a moulded stone doorway with a Tudor arch and plank door, a 2-light window on the inner return, and a 4-light window on the gable front. The right end features casements and blocked stone mullion windows.
Inside, the house has chamfered beams with broach stops, a stone fireplace with a Tudor arch, and a former kitchen fireplace with a large cambered stone arch. Originally, the house was designed in an H plan, but the left wing was demolished around 1800.
