Description
The property comprises a manor house and an attached stable, dating from the mid-17th century. It underwent alterations and additions in the mid-to-late 19th century, with the stable specifically dated 1829. The manor house is constructed of ashlar and regular coursed ironstone, with a tile roof featuring coped gable parapets, moulded kneelers, a stone ridge, and end stacks with string courses and cornices. It has a T-plan with a cross wing to the right. The building is two storeys high, with an 8-window front.
The central, symmetrical 5-window range features a doorway with chamfered jambs, a hood mould stepped in the center over a rounded sunk panel, possibly a datestone, now illegible. The doorway has a mid-to-late 19th-century part-glazed 6-panelled door, and a tile hood with wooden struts interrupting the hood. There is a mid-to-late 19th-century three-light stone-mullioned and transomed window in the center, with further windows to the left and right. The first floor and right wing have two-light stone-mullioned windows. Hood moulds are present throughout, and the wing’s hood mould is continued across the wall between the ground floor windows. The right wing projects only slightly and has a steep gable with a cross vent. A one-window range on the left, built of rougher stonework, features a pair of windows with chamfered jambs on the ground floor and a three-light casement above. The left return side has a stable door with a segmental arch. The right return side of the wing has a two-window range with two-light mullion windows. The rear elevation is irregular. The interior has not been inspected.
The stable, attached on the left, also has features with quatrefoil details. The interior of the stable has not been inspected. The manor house is currently divided into two houses.
A farmhouse, now comprising two cottages, is also part of the complex. It dates from the early 18th century with early 19th-century additions. Constructed of coursed limestone with a concrete tile roof, brick end ridge, and internal stacks, the farmhouse has a five-unit plan. It is two storeys and an attic high, with a three-window range. One cottage, on the left, has a mid-to-late 20th-century plank door with a hood on shaped brackets. The central section has two three-light chamfered stone-mullioned windows, while the right end has a 19th-century casement with a painted wood lintel. The left end has a small 20th-century window on each floor. The first floor has two old casements. The left return side has a rendered gable and 19th-century casements, while the right return side displays an entrance to a property called Cobbers Keep, with a 20th-century glazed door and hood on shaped brackets, and a sash window above. An attic window is also present. The rear elevation is irregular, with five 20th-century flat-roofed dormers.
