Description

Manor House is a house dated 1714, constructed from coursed ironstone with limestone quoins and topped with a Swithland slate roof. The west block features two ranges that extend to the rear. The west front has two storeys and three irregular bays. A plinth course is interrupted by a 20th-century door located to the left of centre. To the left of the door is a three-light cross casement window, and to the right is a similar two-light window. The first floor includes one three-light and two two-light cross casement windows, all of which have glazing bars. The gabled roof has slates that are graded in size. There is a limestone internal gable-end stack with a cornice, and a similar stack is located at the ridge of the north rear range. The interior has not been inspected.
