Description

The Manor House is a small country house dating from the 15th century, with significant alterations made in 1634 and further extensions in 1920. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, featuring ashlar quoins and dressings, and has a Collyweston slate roof with stone coped gables. The building has an E-plan layout and is two storeys high with a five-bay front. The end bays are advanced and gabled, while the central section includes a two-storey gabled porch with a string course, which contains a 20th-century door set in a four-centred arched surround, flanked by single two-light and four-light windows. On the first floor, there is a central two-light window, flanked by single two-light and three-light windows. Each side wing has a single two-light window on each floor. All windows feature ovolo moulded mullions, leaded lights, and cornices. Above the first-floor porch window, there is a lightly incised date of 1634.

To the left of the main house is a single-storey service bay with a three-light window. Attached to the rear is an 18th-century maltings block, now used as an office, built of coursed and banded limestone rubble. This block is three storeys high with a four-bay front, featuring two-light leaded windows on the ground floor and a top-hung casement. The first floor has two two-light casements, a small fixed light, and a boarded light under flat stone arches. There are three boarded openings at the eaves, and a hipped pigeoncote turret sits atop the ridge.

Inside, the central area of the building features an open hall with exposed close-set rafters, an early 20th-century gallery, and panelling, along with a 17th-century stone fireplace that has a four-centred arched head. The exposed wall plate shows mortices indicating the presence of an earlier timber frame.
