Description
The Manor House is a manor house, now a residential property, dating from the early 17th century, with a service wing added in the 18th century. It is constructed of dressed stone and features a steeply pitched slab tile roof. The building has a stone plinth, coped gables with kneelers, and includes a single ridge and single gable stacks. The house is two storeys tall, plus garrets, and consists of five bays. It is arranged in a single range with a lower service wing to the west.
The windows are primarily 20th-century leaded casements and chamfered mullioned casements with hood moulds. The north front features a 20th-century gabled rubble porch, flanked by single casements. To the right of the porch are two additional casements. The service wing to the right has a late 19th-century wooden porch, also flanked by single casements. Above this porch, there are three casements, and to the right, a 19th-century gabled dormer. The rear of the service wing has two casements.
On the rear elevation, there is a door to the left, and to its right, another door flanked by single casements. A three-storey gabled stair tower is present, with a casement on each floor, although the lower two are blocked. Beyond this, there is another casement, and above, to the left, are two gabled dormers, with three casements to the right. The east gable features a continuous ground floor hood mould, with a central casement on each floor.
Inside, there is a rebuilt dogleg stair and a 19th-century secondary stair. The interior also retains remnants of 17th-century chamfered and 18th-century plain ashlar fireplaces. The roof structure consists of a double purlin principal rafter roof with struts, collars, wind braces, and a ridge piece, along with two chamfered span beams.
