Description
The Manor House and Manor Cottage is a house dating back to the 16th century, with a main block re-built in the early 18th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with limestone ashlar quoins and door dressings, brick window dressings, a mid-19th century plain tile and fish-scale tile roof, and brick stacks. The house follows a double-depth plan and is in an early Georgian style. It is two storeys and an attic, with a four-bay front range. The original doorway now contains 20th-century French windows, with a segmental pediment and moulded stone architrave above. All window openings have gauged flat brick arches and architraves, with one blocked and three early 18th-century cross windows to the left, and three mid-18th-century windows to the right. There are raised and chamfered quoins and a dentilled wood cornice. Two gabled roof dormers, with early 20th-century casements, are present. The roof is hipped with a ridge stack. The right side wall features a similar five-window range of mid-18th-century sashes, and one mid-19th-century horned sash. The rear wall includes mid-18th-century sashes and a keyed flat stone arch over a six-panelled door with overlight, adjoining a reset 13th-century slit window. The interior, which has not been inspected, is believed to contain early 18th-century panelled rooms and an early 18th-century staircase. To the left of the front of the main house is a one-storey and attic and two-storey three-window range of coursed limestone rubble with a stone slate and old tile roof, brick ridge stack, and 18th-century three-, five- and two-light leaded casements. The rear wall of this section was rebuilt around 1870 in banded flared and red brick. The interior contains 16th-century fireplaces and smoke-blackened roof timbers.
