Description
The Manor House is a manor house that dates from the late 17th century, late 18th century, mid 19th century, and early 20th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with a hipped roof made of Welsh slate and features stone stacks. The building has a rambling L-plan and is two stories tall with a six-window front.
The entrance includes a recessed 20th-century door with a niche to the right and a small sash window to the left, all within a Tuscan portico dating to around 1980. On the first floor, there are two 16-pane sash windows. The house has matching flanking wings; the left wing features two 12-pane sash windows on both the ground and first floors, while the right wing has two 16-pane sash windows on both levels.
A mid-19th-century ashlar wing projects to the left and includes 12-pane sash windows and a plat band. The right return of the house has five French windows on the ground floor set within a 20th-century loggia, five sash windows on the first floor, and two flat-headed attic dormers with 2-light casements. The left return has 8-pane sashes on the 19th-century wing, while the left return of the 17th-century range features two cross windows with fillet mouldings on the ground floor and three on the first floor, along with a moulded string course. The wing to the left, originally built for services, has sashes and a six-panelled door, with a gable end that includes a datestone from 1913.
At the rear, there are lean-to extensions, a half-glazed door, and both 4-pane and 16-pane sash windows. The gable end of the 17th-century range has early 20th-century renewed cross windows and a string course. The interior has been largely remodelled in the 20th century but retains original early 19th-century joinery, including six-panelled doors in moulded architraves, window shutters, an open-well staircase with stick balusters, cantilevered stone stairs with a moulded handrail, and chamfered beams in the 17th-century range, along with moulded 17th-century balusters on the attic landing.
