Manor House

This is a mid-16th century manor house, originally L-shaped, with a cross wing to the east. An additional west wing was built in the early 17th century, creating a U-shaped plan. The steeply pitched roofs are covered with plain tiles and have gabled ends. The house is two storeys high. The original section is timber-framed with painted render infill panels, set on red sandstone foundations. The south front has three gables; the wide side gables are jettied with coved soffits, and the smaller central gable has a barge-board with a pendant and finial. Most windows are early 19th century three-light casements with glazing bars. A large sandstone ashlar chimney stack, diminishing to square brick shafts, is located at the west gable. The early 17th century west wing was refaced with red brick in the early 19th century. Modern timber-framed porches provide entrances to the north side (entrance for No 1) and the east side (entrance for No 2). Internally, five original red sandstone fireplaces remain, four within No 2. These fireplaces have almost flat, four-centred moulded arches with mouldings continuing down the jambs to splayed stops. The fireplace in the lounge of No 2 is 6 feet high, with a moulded shelf. Contemporary oak panelling survives in the lounges of both sections of the manor. Some medieval wall paintings are present in No 2. A low sandstone ashlar boundary wall with gate piers topped with ball finials stands in front of the house.
