Description
The Manor House is a manor house dating from the late 17th century and late 18th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features an old plain-tile roof with stone and brick stacks. The building has an H-plan layout with added rear wings and stands two storeys high plus attics. The front has seven windows arranged in a 2:3:2 pattern, with a storey band and a stone cornice that breaks into a small open triangular pediment over the central window. The central doorway features double-leaf 18th-century doors, flanking pilasters, and a segmental pediment. The sash windows, mostly 12-pane, have stone flat arches. The central range includes two double-sash dormers with flanking scrolls and triangular pediments topped with finials. The right wing has a similar dormer, while the left wing has been altered to three storeys with a plain parapet. The building has large projecting stone stacks on the return walls, a Venetian window, and hipped dormers on the left. The rear is irregular and complex but includes some stone cornices and hipped roofs.
Inside, there is a large early 17th-century open-well stair with a strapwork balustrade, a high-quality late 17th-century marble fireplace adorned with festoons, masks, and flanking scrolls, and a late 17th-century secondary stair with heavy turned balusters leading to the second floor. The interior also features elaborate late 18th-century cornices and doorcases, as well as an inlaid marble fireplace with a rustic relief panel by William Collins.
