Description

This is an early 19th-century manor house, with some earlier fabric. The front of the house is limestone ashlar, while the sides are built from coursed squared rubble. It has old plain-tile roofs and stone stacks. The building likely follows a central-stair plan. The symmetrical front facade has three windows, a plinth, and a storey band. It features a central doorway with a rectangular overlight, and twelve-pane sash windows. The roof is shallow-pitched, with flanking stacks that have moulded caps, and a lateral stack rising from the rear slope. A single-storey range, built of rubble and covered with tiles, adjoins the right side. A rear range and a rear wing, probably dating from an earlier period, have casement windows.

The interior has not been inspected.

A low front wall, constructed with a moulded coping, runs along the front, featuring square corner piers and returns.

The house may incorporate parts of an earlier manor house built by Unton Croke and used as Fairfax's headquarters during the siege of Oxford in 1645. The Treaty for the Surrender of Oxford was signed there in 1646.
