Description

The Manor House is a house that was later used as a vicarage. It dates from the early to mid-17th century, with a mid-to-late 19th-century addition and possibly some 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of dressed grey Grinshill sandstone, with some areas cement rendered to resemble ashlar, and features timber framing with painted brick nogging on a high dressed sandstone plinth. The roof is covered with plain tiles.

The house has an L-plan layout and is two storeys high, with an attic. It features a chamfered plinth and coped parapeted gables, along with two integral brick end stacks located at the rear of the main block. The front has three windows, which include four-light double-chamfered mullioned and transomed stone windows. There are also two large gables that have two-light double-chamfered mullioned stone attic windows.

A central gabled porch, which is rendered and likely altered in the 20th century, has a two-light wooden casement on the first floor and a ground-floor entrance with a keyed segmental arch, a six-panelled door, and a small window set back behind it. To the left of the first-floor window, there is a painted sundial with a wrought-iron gnomon. A blocked attic window is found on the left-hand return front.

To the left, there is a 19th-century two-storey addition that is set back and has a polygonal end, a hipped roof, a plinth, a coved cornice, a brick stack at the rear, and leaded one-light wooden cross windows with double-chamfered reveals on each floor. The right-hand return front features a two-light double-chamfered mullioned attic window and three-light double-chamfered stone mullioned and transomed windows on the ground and first floors.

At the rear, there is a 20th-century raking dormer and a two-light double-chamfered stone mullioned ground-floor window to the left. The mid-17th-century timber-framed rear wing has a 20th-century lean-to porch in the angle. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is likely to be of interest. The garden wall at the front is dated 1694, which may indicate part of the house's construction date, although Pevsner suggests 1624, which seems more likely.
