Description

The Manor House is a manor house dating from the early 17th century, with extensions added in the 18th century. It is constructed of coursed squared limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features an old plain-tile roof with rebuilt brick stacks. The building has a three-unit cross-passage plan and stands two storeys plus an attic.

The front facade has three gables and displays three 3-light stone-mullioned windows on each floor, along with intermediate single-light windows at both the ground and first floors. All windows feature ovolo mouldings and labels, although most are likely from the 19th century. To the left of the centre, there is a 4-centre arched entrance with recessed spandrels and a label. The parapets are topped with steep copings that have a ridge roll and some simple finials. The roof includes a prominent clustered stack to the right of centre and additional stacks on the end gables.

On the left side of the front, there is a lower 18th-century bay with a 2-light casement. The rear wing has small 2-light stone-mullioned stair windows that have a plain chamfer and lack labels. Although the rear has undergone significant alterations, it still retains several original ovolo-moulded windows. The right end wall and the rear of the right bay feature leaded cross windows set under stone flat arches.

Inside, the Manor House showcases stop-chamfered beams and a large open fireplace with a bread oven. The 17th-century oak-panelled parlour includes a shell-headed alcove, a Tudor-arched stone fireplace, and a panelled overmantel with caryatids. The first floor has moulded-stone fireplaces, one with a bolection surround, and the roof is supported by butt-purlins. Early plank-shutters can be found in the stair tower, along with the remains of the former cross-passage.
