Description
The Manor House, along with an attached washhouse and traphouse, is a farmhouse dating from 1620, with extensions from the late 17th century, and raised in the early 19th century, along with further alterations in the 19th century. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and dressings, and red brick on the left side. The roofs are covered with Welsh slate and feature raised gables with brick coping, as well as two ashlar gable stacks with moulded cornices.
The building has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys plus attics, presenting an irregular three-bay front. An off-centre planked door is set under a timber lintel and is flanked by single three-light windows, with the right window featuring a cornice. On the first floor, there is a single two-light window flanked by two three-light windows, all of which have ovolo moulded mullions. The roof includes two gabled dormers at eaves level, which have bargeboards, rendered cheeks, and stone bases.
To the left, there is a later 17th-century service wing that has a limestone base and late brick raising. This wing is two storeys high with a two-bay front, featuring a two-light casement window and a half-glazed door on the ground floor, and a two-light casement window with a brick segmental arch on the first floor. At right angles to this is a single-storey washhouse and traphouse, which has a red brick ridge stack, two double planked doors, a planked door on the left, a two-light casement on the right, and another planked door. The right gable contains single blocked two-light mullioned windows on both the ground and first floors.
Inside, the hall features an inglenook fireplace that is lightly incised on the bressumer with "1620 FRIS". The beams are chamfered with run-out stops. In the parlour, there is an offset ashlar fireplace with a moulded four-centred arched head.
