Description

Manor House is a manor house built around 1710, likely for Robert Dashwood, with alterations and extensions made in the 19th century. The building features coursed squared limestone with ashlar dressings, coursed squared marlstone, and brick, topped with Stonesfield-slate and Welsh-slate roofs that have ashlar and rendered stacks.

The main part of the house has a symmetrical five-window layout, consisting of two storeys plus an attic. It displays rusticated quoins, a storey band, and a moulded wooden cornice beneath a hipped roof. The first-floor windows are 12-pane sashes with moulded stone architraves and projecting keyblocks. The ground-floor openings have all been lowered to accommodate French windows, with the central opening, likely the original main entrance, featuring a more elaborate architrave. The roof includes three hipped roof dormers with two-light casements, as well as similar dormers at the ends.

To the right, there is a late-19th century range with four windows, consisting of one storey plus an attic. This section has ground-floor openings with full-height sashes, while the upper sashes rise into segmental pediments that are interrupted by tall keyblocks. A three-window rear wing, which extends from the left, is designed in a stone-mullioned style from around 1850 and includes a main entrance with a four-centre arch. The rear of the house combines marlstone and brick, and there are attached service ranges that include an octagonal brick dairy.

Inside, there is an open-well cantilevered stair from around 1850, along with 19th-century joinery, fireplaces, and plasterwork. The rear wing features two stone bolection-mould fireplaces from around 1700, which are likely re-used.
