Description
The Manor House is a detached house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the early 17th century. It is constructed of dressed limestone and features a tiled roof with coped verges and stone stacks that have moulded cappings. The building is designed in an L-plan, with the hall range having a lateral stack at the rear. It is two storeys high and has a three-window front.
At the centre of the front, there is a two-storey gabled porch with Tudor-arched openings. Above the porch, there is a 2-light mullioned casement on the first floor, along with a date stone from 1637. To the left, there are 3-light and 2-light mullioned casements, while to the right, there is a 4-light casement. The first floor features a 4-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement with hoodmoulds on either side of the porch, as well as two additional 4-light mullioned casements with hoodmoulds.
The projecting wing to the right has buttresses with offsets and 2-light mullioned casements on the left side, an external stack, and 2-light and 3-light mullioned casements on the gable end. The right return includes 2-light and 3-light mullioned casements with hoodmoulds, a 20th-century conservatory, and a central 3-light mullioned casement that lights the stairs. The wing features buttresses extending to the eaves and three 2-light mullioned casements on the first floor.
At the rear of the main range, there is a large lateral stack to the left, a glazed 20th-century door, and 3-light and 4-light mullioned casements on the ground floor, along with 3-light mullioned casements on the first floor, all with hoodmoulds. The rear gable end of the wing has 4-light mullioned casements. The left return has an attached single-storey addition with a 2-light ovolo-mullioned casement on the first floor.
Inside, the main room features an inserted 16th-century Italian stone fireplace, while the room to the left has an open fireplace with a raised cambered lintel on stone jambs. The 17th-century wing includes Tudor-arched stone fireplaces on both the ground and first floors, as well as an ovolo-moulded door case with stops between the wing and the main range. There are 8-panelled wainscot doors, some of which are early 20th-century copies. The stairs in the wing have ovolo-moulded newels, but some balusters are missing. The house was restored by the Crichton-Maitland family in the 1920s.
