Description
Groom's House, attached to the south-west of the Manor House, is a former groom's house that has been converted into a study. It dates from the 17th century and features coursed dressed stone walls and a clay-tile roof with gable ends and stone apex finials. The building is two storeys high and has two windows on the first floor, which are 2-light hollow-chamfered stone mullions with separate labels above, typical of the 17th century. The iron casements have lozenge-leaded lights.
On the ground floor, there is a wide entrance with moulded jambs and a depressed-arch head, although this entrance is currently blocked and has a separate returned label above it. The west elevation features a depressed-arch doorway with moulded jambs and a studded plank door. Additionally, there are two 3-light 20th-century metal casements with lozenge-leading.
