The Manor House

The Manor House is a house dating from the early 18th century, with later additions made in the mid-to-late 20th century. It is constructed of stone rubble, with slate hanging above the basement on the garden front and to one side elevation. The roof is of cement-washed rag slate with gable ends, including a projecting wing to the garden front with a hipped end. A further extension on the left-hand gable end, also slate-hung and with an asbestos slate roof and hipped end, was added in the 20th century. A brick gable end stack, incorporated as an axial stack, is present on the left side. The house is built into a steeply sloping bank, with a basement entrance on the garden front and a ground floor entrance from Church Hill.

The original layout likely consisted of two rooms and a cross passage, with a staircase potentially located in a rear projection. One room was originally larger and heated by a gable end stack, while the other was probably unheated.

The garden front is asymmetrical, with two storeys and a basement. A lean-to timber porch, dating from the 19th century, is located on the right side, in the angle between the projection and the main range. The porch contains an 18th-century two-panel door leading directly into the projecting wing. A further entrance is located on the left side, with a 20th-century door and a 19th-century six-pane sash window. Ground floor windows include probable replacement 18-pane sashes on the left side and in the projection, and a nine-pane window on the right. First-floor windows include a tall 18-pane sash on the left and a twelve-pane sash asymmetrically placed in the projection. The 20th-century extension on the left-hand gable end has 20th-century windows to both ground and first floor levels.

The elevation facing Church Hill is more regular, exhibiting a four-window front. The ground floor features a twelve-pane sash on the left, a 20th-century door, and a 19th-century two-light sliding sash on the right. The first floor has four replacement 18-pane sashes.

Internally, the basement reveals fairly slight ceiling beams and a renewed lintel to a fireplace. A dog-leg staircase, likely originally located on the right-hand side, has been partly restored, featuring a closed string, turned balusters, square newels, and a moulded rail. Ground and first floor doors are mostly 18th-century fielded panelled doors (two and six panels), several retaining original HL hinges. Roof trusses have been partly replaced, incorporating partly halved, lapped and pegged collars, and there is possible evidence of remains of an earlier roof truss in the front wall on the right-hand side.

The Manor House remains relatively unaltered, retaining a fairly complete interior.
