Description

Manor House is a house dating from the mid-17th century, with alterations made in the later 17th century. It is constructed of red brick with stone quoins and dressings, topped with Welsh and Swithland slate roofs. The building features brick end stacks, including a projecting stack on the facing gable and another on the right side facing the Church. The stone-coped, shouldered gables have kneelers.

The structure consists of three ranges: a one-storey range to the left, a two-storey span behind, and a cross wing on the right, which is the main range. The main facade is the rear gable of this range, which is two and a half storeys tall with a basement. It has two 6/6 sash windows in moulded stone frames with keystones, and two similar windows in the gable, one of which is a 2-light casement while the other is blocked. There are two basement windows, with the left one also blocked.

To the right, in coursed squared stone, is a two-storey range featuring a blocked window and a 6/6 sash window in a stone frame. The ground floor has a wooden doorcase with fluted jambs and a flat bracketted canopy, leading to a six-panelled door with the upper four panels glazed. To the right of the door is a three-light window with a central sash. The brick ornamental end stack is also present.

The one-storey range behind has a 20th-century tiled roof and ridge stack. The side of the wing facing the Church has two first-floor three-light stone mullion and transom windows with hood moulds, and below them are two 2/2 sashes. To the right is the projecting stack with stone quoins and a further blocked window. The facing gable on the entrance side has a similar stack and a two-light horizontal sliding sash in the gable.

Inside, there is a fine later 17th-century oak well staircase, with some newels featuring open work diamonds on top and octagonal balls beneath, while others are continuous. The interior also includes moulded chamfered beams and two- and six-panelled doors.
