Description
This is a manor house dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of red brick with a granite rubble stone plinth in places, and has a Swithland slate roof with brick end stacks. Brick bands run across the facade. The house is two and a half storeys high and originally had five windows, now consisting of four 6/6 sash windows and a central narrow 8-pane window. On the ground floor, from left to right, are a 6/6 sash window, a glazed door, a 6/6 sash window, and a glazed door with an overlight. A two-storey wing extends from the left end, featuring 2-light casement windows. The right end of the house has a 6/6 sash window on both floors and a blocked attic window to the left, and a 2/2 sash window on both floors and in the attic to the right. A rear entrance is accessed via a centred bay flanked by three 2/2 sash windows over a centrally placed glazed door.
Inside the house, a mid-18th century staircase features three turned balusters per tread. The hall is floored with stone flags, and there is surviving 18th century panelling, some of which has been restored.
