Description

The Manor House, water tower, workshops, and attached walls, located approximately 70 meters to the southeast, are likely from the early 18th century, with the tower dating to the 19th century. The structures are built from limestone rubble and feature timber lintels and stone-slate roofs. The single range includes a two-storey workshop front, which has two three-light casement windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, with the rightmost window sharing a lintel with a doorway. There is a possibly enlarged doorway to the left, and the right gable wall has stone steps leading to a blocked first-floor doorway. The two-stage square tower at the rear, facing the roadside, has projecting bands below slit openings and a shallow pyramidal roof with corbelled eaves. The interiors have not been inspected. The attached rubble walls, which run between drives, face the village green. It is possible that the workshops were originally a cottage.
