The Manor House

The Manor House, originally known as Manorhouse Farm, is a house dating from around 1280, with alterations made in the 17th century and restoration carried out between 1966 and 1971. It is constructed of Charnwood granite rubble with ashlar dressings, featuring 20th-century timber-framed gables and roofs made of Swithland slate. The building has a massive rubble stack at the rear, which has been truncated.

The main hall block is two storeys high and runs east to west, with wings projecting to the north at each end, creating a half-H plan. There is an additional wing of slightly later date extending from the northeast angle. The south wall contains the original first-floor entrance to the hall, and the holes for the staircase are still visible. Shallow angle buttresses are present, except at the southeast corner and in the north wing. The south, north, and east walls have been largely rebuilt during the restoration, while the original 13th-century cusped lancet windows have been restored.

Inside, the ground floor features a 17th-century fireplace, which dates from the conversion of the undercroft into a kitchen, during which the ceiling height was raised. The first-floor hall has a 17th-century fireplace, with only a fragment of the stone wall bracket remaining from the original 13th-century fireplace. There are three 17th-century roof trusses, one of which is closed and two that are open. The hall is separated from the wings by timber-framed partitions, and part of the original plaster infilling can still be seen by the doorway to the east wing. Additionally, 17th-century mullioned windows with three and four lights, featuring hood bands above, have been inserted into the south and east walls, while the west end of the hall has a single large lancet window.
