Manor House

Manor House is a farmhouse that likely includes parts of an earlier manor house. It dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with some earlier fragments, and was extended in the 19th century. The building is constructed from coursed and random limestone rubble with squared quoins, some brick dressings, and wooden lintels. The brickwork is in Flemish garden-wall bond, and it has an old plain-tile roof with brick gable stacks. The house has a T-plan and is two storeys plus an attic.

The front has four windows and a doorway to the left of centre, flanked by large four-light casements, with a 20th-century French window to the right. The first floor features four short six-pane sash windows beneath a continuous lintel that is partly covered by a deep plastered eaves cove. The masonry shows evidence of an earlier window arrangement. The roof includes four small two-light hipped roof dormers and has stacks on both gables and in the centre. The left gable wall displays irregular masonry, indicating a lower gable line.

At the rear, there is a short rubble wing next to a longer 19th-century rubble-and-brick wing that incorporates some earlier masonry, along with a brick range parallel to the main building. Inside, there are open fireplaces, some chamfered beams, squared intersecting beams, and signs of framing on the first floor. The roof has a butt-purlin structure with two cambered collars, one of which is certainly medieval and has mortices for arched braces, possibly reused. The house is associated with the poet John Drinkwater.
