Description
The Manor House is a house dating back to the 16th century, with an 19th-century range added to the left. It was altered in the early 19th century and again in the mid to late 19th century. The exterior is colourwashed roughcast, likely over timber framing, and has an old plain-tile roof. It features an old brick ridge stack in the centre, and 20th-century brick ridge and end stacks. The building has an irregular U-plan extended to an F-plan with a range to the left and a wing to the rear and may have originally been a hall house. The house is two storeys high with an 8-window front. A large gabled porch, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, is located at the angle to the left, featuring whitewashed rusticated lower parts (possibly concrete blocks) and upper parts with sham framing of close studding and roughcast infill. The porch has a leaded, part-glazed door with flanking lights. The windows are mostly 19th-century wood mullioned and transomed, with glazing bars throughout. The centre of the front has two tall 2-light casements and a 3-light window above. Smaller one-light casements are positioned to the left and right of the porch gable. The right cross-wing is one storey and attic. A large 2-storey canted bay has tall 2-light casements. The left cross-wing features a 3-light window and two cross windows above. The gables have plain bargeboards. The left range has a large canted bay to the ground floor with a 2-light casement, and further 3-light and cross windows above. A small conservatory on the left side mirrors the glazing. Inside, there is some exposed close studding with plastered infill. One room to the right has a moulded beam with an ogee stop and 19th or 20th-century panelling. A room in the rear wing of the right side contains a 16th or 17th-century moulded stone fireplace with a Tudor arch and sunk spandrels, alongside an 18th or 19th-century decorated cast-iron grate, and a built-in corner cupboard with a panelled door. The house has an early 19th-century straight-flight and winder staircase with stick balusters and column newels. Two first-floor rooms feature chamfered arched braces, while another room contains a plaster barrel vault.
