The Manor House

The Manor House is a manor house dating to the early 17th century, with alterations and additions from the early/mid 19th century and mid/late 19th century. An early/mid 19th-century cross wing is built of limestone ashlar with alternating narrow courses of contrasting stone and large sandstone quoins. The central range is mainly brick. The right wing is of regular coursed lias/limestone, with the upper part of its return side constructed of yellow brick. The rear is mainly of lias/limestone. The building has old tile roofs, stone external stacks, and 19th-century brick shafts to the ridge and ends.

The building is in a complex L-plan, with a wing on the right and a cross wing on the left, plus rear ranges. It is two storeys and an attic, with a five-window front. The front is irregular. A recessed porch has a wide, shallow, double-chamfered brick Tudor arch. It contains a double-leaf, part-glazed, flush 6-panelled door within a simple moulded wood surround. The first floor of the porch has a two-light recessed chamfered stone mullioned window with a hood mould. The right wing has a coped parapet with a ball finial. The gabled cross wing features a 19th-century wood mullioned and transomed three-light window. The central range has a large external stack of alternating courses of sandstone and limestone, with a gablet and yellow brick shafts. Flanking two-storey, two-light chamfered mullioned windows have two transoms; the one on the left has a brick surround and flat arch. Two roof dormers have a two-light leaded casement on the left and a 20th-century window on the right. The two-window right wing dates mainly from the mid/late 19th century.

The left return side of the cross wing is a four-window range, with flood mullioned and transomed windows, similar to those on the front. To the rear, there is an irregular three-storey wing on the left, and two gabled ranges to the right. An open-fronted porch has a simple Tudor arch. Inside, a room on the left includes a marble fireplace with Ionic columns. A room to the right has been opened up to two storeys. The lower part has early 18th-century painted panelling, fluted pilasters, and four-panelled doors, alongside a 19th-century Tudor-arched fireplace. The upper part has 17th-century style panelling. A long, early/mid 18th-century open-well staircase, said to be from a house in Derby, has a scrolled string, column, barley sugar and twist balusters to each tread, and a wreathed handrail with a column newel.
