Description
Manor House is a building that dates from the early to late 17th century, with an extension added around 1920. It features a distinctive flint and limestone chequerwork exterior and a slate roof. The house is two storeys tall with attics, comprising five bays, and has cross wings at both ends that contain four bays. There is also a three-bay extension to the north, which has a central bay extension on the east side.
The exterior includes a stone moulded plinth and a mid-wall moulded string. The main entrance is located at the angle of the north-west cross wing, accessed through a 19th-century open porch. The doors are framed with stone surrounds that have inset half-round mouldings on the edges. The front door is half glazed and topped with a square stone head featuring blind spandrels. The windows are ovolo-moulded stone-mullioned types, with deep windows on the ground floor, three-light windows on the first floor, and two-light windows in the gables of the wings that light the attics. The east front has five dormers, including one in the 1920 wing, and the gables are coped. At the south end, there is a timber canopy from around 1920 supported by stone brackets.
Inside, the hall and the chamber above have stone fireplaces with a 4-centred mould and blind spandrels. The main staircase, added around 1920, features an oak balustrade. The billiard room in the south-west wing has an 18th-century overmantel. The roof of the central section consists of collar beam trusses with butt purlins and no ridge, while the later south-west cross wing has a four-bay roof with collar and clasped purlins and a ridge.
