Description

The Manor is a manor house, now a house, with origins in the 16th century. It was largely rebuilt in the early to mid 17th century, and remodelled and extended to the left around 1830 for William Turner. The building is constructed of squared and coursed limestone with a stone-coped gabled stone slate roof, and features moulded stone ashlar ridge and end stacks.

The house follows a double-depth plan and is two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical three-window range to the double-gabled range on the right. A hood mould sits above a 20th-century chamfered stone-mullioned window in the blocked central doorway. Further hood moulds are above similar mid-19th century three-light windows, and two-light centre and attic windows. A mid-19th century wing of two windows is present to the left, featuring a hood mould over a pointed moulded doorway and a similar doorway and bell in the inner porch, as well as a hood mould over a similar two-light window above. A canted bay window is on the left of this wing, with similar mullioned windows. An early 20th-century extension is to the far left, built in a matching style. All windows have sash glazing bars and plate glass.

Inside, there is a hall with panelled doors set in reeded architraves and mid-19th century panelled doors set in moulded architraves. Early 17th century moulded stone fireplaces exist with sunk spandrels to the rooms on the right and rear right; a similar fireplace with foliate spandrels is in the room on the left. A mid-19th century central staircase has turned balusters. The attic to the right of the hall contains a late 16th century collar truss of heavy timber, a 17th century four-bay butt-purlin roof and plank and ribbed doors.

Attached outbuildings, dating from the 17th century, surround a courtyard on the right. They are constructed of buttressed walls of coursed limestone rubble with a gabled stone slate roof. A hood mould is above a 13th-century reset pointed chamfered doorway to the front, and there's an 18th-century arched double entry to the rear right. Square stone piers provide open fronts facing the yard, and stone steps lead to the rear right.
