Old Manor House and Attached Barn and Service Block

The Old Manor House, with its attached barn and service block, dates to the early 17th century and was altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in English bond, with sandstone ashlar quoins and dressings, and has a Swithland slate roof with raised stone coped gables and two square ridge stacks decorated with strapwork. The building has a T-plan layout. The irregular four-bay front features a chamfered plinth and three main coped gables with kneelers. The second bay from the right is a narrower, two-storey projecting porch, also gabled and constructed of ashlar with a four-centred arched doorway. The porch shelters a plain planked door and is flanked by single three-light windows, with a further two-light window to the left. The first-floor level of the porch is jettied out on three sides on timber joists with shaped ends, and is built of brick with ashlar quoins, incorporating a two-light timber sliding sash window flanked by single three-light windows and another similar window to the left. The windows are stone mullioned with square leaded casements and have rectangular ashlar surrounds. Blocked two-light oak mullioned windows are visible in the gables. A projecting service wing to the rear also has some contemporary windows. To the left of the main house is an attached brick barn with a 17th-century timber-framed wall of square panels. To the right, projecting forward of the house, is an attached early 18th-century service block in Flemish bond brick with burnt headers and an asbestos roof. The interior was not inspected, but is believed to retain a 17th-century staircase with splat balusters and some panelling.
