Description
The Old Manor House is a small country house dating from the 17th century, with extensions from the 18th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone, with a stone slate roof and ashlar ridge and end stacks, some incorporating double and triple linked flues. Originally a 4-unit plan, it has been extended to the right and with wings to the rear. The front facade is two storeys high and has a 6-window range. The windows are stone mullion windows with leaded lights. Mullioned windows to the left of the facade are predominantly 4-light (3 windows) or 2-light (1 window), likely dating to the 20th century. To the right, the windows are mostly 2-light (1 window) or 4-light (2 windows) and appear to be original to the 17th or 18th century. Ground-floor windows include a 4-light, a 2-light, a doorway with a stone hood, a 2-light, a 6-light casement, and a 3-light casement, all from the 20th century. An 18th-century extension on the right end features a door, a 3-light window, and a 2-light dormer. Further 1-storey extensions exist to the right. The left end has been partly rebuilt in the 20th century, with additional 4-light and 2-light windows, alongside a 2-storey wing to the rear. A rear wing, likely from the 17th century, runs parallel to the main range and has a staircase turret in the re-entrant angle. Interior features include chamfered spine beams with ogee stops, a cross-beamed ceiling, and arched stone fireplaces in the hall, drawing room, and bedroom. A 20th-century staircase is also present. The roof is a trenched double purlin roof with clasped principals, some old rafters and some 20th-century timber added for strengthening. The main range displays a stone plinth or base suggestive of an earlier building. A further 20th-century wing is attached to the left.
