Description

The Old Manor House and Manor Cottage, originally a farmhouse, date from the mid-17th century and are now two attached cottages. They feature coursed rubble stone walls and an asbestos slate roof with stone gable copings. Each gable has a renewed brick stack. The building is two storeys high and has four windows. The ground floor windows are four-light stone mullions that are hollow-chamfered and have separate labels above them. The first floor has three-light stone mullions with the same type of labels. The ground floor windows have 20th-century metal casements, while the upper windows feature iron casements with lead lights and 17th-century glass. The left-hand door is a newly inserted plank door from the 20th century, while the right-hand door is the original entrance, a plank door with a wooden frame from the 19th century. There is a single gable-end window on the right that has been blocked and has a separate label above it. The rubble-stone walls extend along the lane and have rubble-stone coping, approximately 15 metres long.
