Description
The Manor House is a house that was originally a manor house and farmhouse, dating from the early 17th century. It was extended in the early 18th century and altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed from ironstone ashlar with limestone dressings and features a slate roof. A brick central ridge stack with six square flues was rebuilt in the 20th century. The house has a cruciform plan and is two storeys high with an attic, comprising a three-window range.
The central porch is full-height and has a round-arched doorway with stop-chamfered jambs, moulded imposts, and a moulded round-arched head. Above the doorway is a two-light ovolo-moulded stone mullion window with a hood mould, and there is a similar, smaller window in the gable above. Another gable is located behind the porch. The main block features an ovolo-moulded stone cross window on the left side of the ground floor and a 20th-century timber cross window on the right side. The first floor has two-light ovolo-moulded stone mullion windows. The building also has a chamfered plinth, a moulded string course at the first floor, and stone-coped gables with kneelers.
At the rear, there is a full-height stair turret that corresponds to the porch, contributing to the cross plan and featuring a stone-coped gable. There is a two-storey brick extension from the 18th century at the rear left, located in the re-entrant angle, which includes a stair turret and three-light casement windows on both the ground and first floors. The ground floor window has a segmental-arched head and a lean-to roof.
Inside, the house has ogee stop-chamfered spine beams and a large fireplace in the kitchen with a cambered, chamfered bressumer. There are stone Tudor-arched fireplaces on the first and attic floors.
