The Manor House

The Manor House is a house with origins in the 16th century, subject to substantial remodelling in the 18th century and alterations and enlargement in the 19th century. Constructed of stone, the lower part of the roof is stone slated, while the upper part is tiled, with brick stacks. The building is two storeys and has attics.

The original layout included a large central hall, with a parlour to the east and a kitchen to the west. A circular stone staircase from the 16th century is located within a square turret at the rear of the east end of the hall. An 18th-century stair tower adjoins the turret on the west side, positioned within the centre of the south wall of the hall. 19th-century lean-to additions at the rear have been mostly demolished, leaving two small single-storey blocks with brick and stone walls and tiled roofs. This demolition revealed evidence of an earlier two-storey projecting wing at the rear of the kitchen.

The main north wall was rebuilt in the 18th century using ashlar stone. It presents a symmetrical facade, with a central six-panel door and fanlight, framed by moulded stone jambs and head, which appear to incorporate reused 16th-century elements. The ground floor features six double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, set within moulded stone surrounds, again seemingly reusing earlier 16th-century stonework, and further accentuated by added keystones. The first floor has seven similar windows. Four dormers with hipped tiled roofs and horizontally sliding sash windows with glazing bars are located in the attic.

The rear elevation has modern stone mullioned windows on the east (parlour) end, replacing what were likely earlier 16th-century windows. The 16th-century stair turret includes an external doorway with a chamfered stone surround and plain 16th-century windows. The 18th-century stair tower has a single double-hung sash window with glazing bars set within a moulded stone surround with a cambered head, likely incorporating reused 16th-century work. A dormer with a hipped roof and horizontally sliding sashes is positioned above this. Single-storey rear extensions are characterised by timber casement windows with glazing bars. At the west (kitchen) end, the ground floor has a door with a timber lintel and a single double-hung sash window with glazing bars. Brick walls link the house with stables at the rear, creating a courtyard. A cast iron pump stands in the courtyard, accompanied by a stone trough.

Internally, a 16th-century stone spiral staircase survives. An archway leading from the hall to the staircase has a moulded stone surround and a cambered head, partially reconstructed. The 18th-century staircase is of open-well form, with turned balusters and a moulded handrail. First-floor rooms feature 18th-century cornices and raised panel doors. A room above the kitchen has simple panelling. Arched cross-walls in the corridors have moulded linings.

Brick garden walls enclose the property, incorporating a brick pier. A partially built-up archway of reused 16th-century stonework within the wall east of the house bears the date 1737, likely indicating the date of its reuse.
