Description
The Old Manor House is a house dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. It is constructed of limestone rubble with squared quoins and timber lintels, topped by an old plain-tile roof featuring brick ridge stacks. The house has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys high with attics. The front has three windows and a door located to the left of centre, which is below a two-light casement and flanked by three-light casements on both the ground and first floors. There is a bay to the right with a two-light casement at the ground floor. Most of the window frames and lintels have been renewed. A 20th-century extension is present on the left side. The right gable wall features a three-light casement across three floors, with some old leaded lights. The interior has not been inspected.
