Manor House

This is an early 18th-century brick farmhouse. It was built on the sandstone cellars of a 17th-century or earlier building. The farmhouse is seven bays wide, arranged as a 2:3:2 pattern, with four brick pilasters—one at each end and marking the main bay divisions. The windows are generally 18-pane sashes with flat, gauged architraves, except for two bays on the right where the upper left window is blocked and two ground-floor windows which retain a wooden mullion and two transoms. A small wooden sign reading “DAIRY” is positioned above the right-hand ground-floor window. The central entrance features half-glazed, panelled double doors recessed within a moulded architrave and beneath a simple moulded canopy. Brick stacks are located on the ridge above the pilasters of the central three bays.

Inside, the hall fireplace has a late 17th-century carved oak panelled chimney-piece. The parlour contains Jacobean panelling with a fluted frieze, including an early 18th-century aedicule (a decorative architectural feature) recessed into the south wall, behind which is a painting of four nude children. The parlour’s ceiling consists of four panels with moulded edges, and it also has a late 17th-century carved oak chimney-piece. A portion of an early 18th-century dog-leg staircase with a moulded handrail and turned balusters survives on the first floor. Three two-light mullioned windows are visible in the south elevation, representing remnants of the earlier building.
