Description
Manor House is a building dating from 1669, although parts may be older. It has been altered in the 20th century. The structure is made of squared and coursed marlstone and limestone rubble, with wooden lintels and a Stonesfield-slate roof featuring brick stacks. The house is designed in an L-plan and has two storeys plus an attic.
On the longest side, there are four 20th-century windows with concrete lintels towards the right end, but the masonry shows evidence of at least three different building phases, including a section of chamfered plinth. The roof has a ridge stack located to the left of the center and is hipped to the left, returning to the wing, which contains similar windows and a 20th-century bay window. A datestone inscribed "WE/B/1669" is built into a jamb.
The rear gable wall features an earlier, lower gable with an ovolo-moulded three-light wood-mullioned window that has transoms. The right gable wall of the main range has a similar window without transoms, along with the main entrance and a blocked entrance. The infill range is lower and likely dates from the 19th or 20th century.
Inside, the largest room has heavy stop-chamfered beams and a wide inglenook fireplace with a stop-chamfered bressumer and remnants of a bread oven, as well as a small early 18th-century stone fireplace. The initials on the datestone refer to William and Elizabeth Bruce.
