The Manor House

The Manor House is a house dating from approximately 1710 to 1730, constructed of brick with a slate roof. It is a building of group value. The main facade features a central three-bay projection with a segmental gable. The house has two storeys and an attic, originally with seven window bays, and a parallel rear range, later extended to create a courtyard on the left. Raised stone quoins and a plat band are present. The central entrance has a six-panelled door with a bolection moulding and a broken pediment displaying the arms of the Dukes of Somerset within a baroque frame, along with consoles below. The windows have moulded stone architraves and three-centred heads with raised keystones. Most windows are twelve-pane sashes with intersecting ogee heads, likely from the later 18th century. A similar window is located in the gable. Windows in bays 1 and 2, and 6 and 7 have similar detailing but are square-headed. The facade is finished with a dentilled cornice.

The later 18th-century rear block is five bays wide, with the three central bays topped by a dentilled pediment that continues as a parapet over the flanking bays. The rear windows are set in deep reveals with concealed boxes. A central Roman Doric porch provides access to a six-panelled door. A rear extension, probably of a later date, has been added to the right, with end bays that are also pedimented and have an oval recess in the gable.

The interior includes a later staircase in the rear block, connecting to a square hall in the front. A 18th-century carved wood fire surround is found in the left-hand front block, and one room to the rear is fully panelled.
