The Manor House And Attached Outbuilding Range

The Manor House and attached outbuilding range date from the late medieval period with significant additions and alterations in the 16th and 17th centuries. The main house is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with some ashlar dressings, while the outbuilding range is similarly built. It has a stone slate roof, with artificial stone slate sections, and rebuilt brick stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape around a courtyard.

The front of the main range is irregular, with renewed 3-light casement windows on the first floor, and a ground floor with continuous lintels over a doorway and casement windows of 2, 3 and 4 lights, which appear to have been re-arranged. A lower wing projects to the left, containing a lean-to porch and a 3-light casement window to each floor. Gable parapets adorn the main range, featuring scroll kneelers and a stone finial to the left. The rear of the main range has four casement windows on the first floor, and a stone corbel supports a renewed diagonally-set lateral stack. A tall, semi-octagonal stair turret rises on the garden front, with small stone windows. The left gable wall of the main range has sash windows, some with keyblock flat arches. The ends of the "L" each have stacks with two diagonal shafts.

The outbuilding range, likely dating from the 17th century, is a two-storey, five-window building parallel to the main range and partly forming the third side of the courtyard. It retains unglazed wood-mullion windows on both floors to both sides. Inside the main house, the entrance to the lower wing features a moulded oak doorframe leading to a through passage and a 3-bay room with intersecting moulded medieval beams and matching wallplates. A Tudor-arched moulded stone fireplace has been re-set. The chamber above is believed to contain an arched truss. The outbuilding has a butt-purlin roof with raking struts to the trusses and a heavy first-floor structure, and has historically been used as a malthouse. The original appearance of the house suggests it may have been a chamber block within a larger hall that previously occupied the site.
