Description
Manor House is a house set in its own grounds, dating from the late 16th century and altered in the late 18th century. It is constructed of rubblestone, with a Welsh slate roof on the front pitch and tiles on the rear, along with brick and ashlar chimney stacks. The building has an 'L'-shaped plan and is two stories high with five windows featuring sash designs. The central entrance is a six-panelled door that is recessed within a chamfered rusticated surround, flanked by two 12-pane sash windows. The first floor has five 12-pane sashes, with a moulded string course above.
On the right side, there is a 2-light casement window and a recessed chamfered light in the attic. The left side features a 20th-century casement window, a 3-light mullioned and transomed casement with a hoodmould, and a 19th-century door in a 20th-century porch. The first floor on this side has two 3-light hollow-chamfered mullioned and transomed casements with hoodmoulds, while the attic has a 2-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement. The rear of the house includes patio doors on the left and two 12-pane sashes on the right, with one sash on the first floor and a 2-light hollow-chamfered mullioned casement in the attic. The rear wing has a 2-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement on the ground floor.
Inside, the ground floor features doors with six fielded panels, while the first floor has doors with two raised panels, all set in moulded architraves. The west room on the ground floor boasts a fine late 16th-century moulded Tudor-arched stone fireplace, complete with Tuscan columns on the overmantel, heraldic arms, strapwork decoration, and a guilloche frieze, topped with armoured figures and ball finials. The fireplace on the first floor above has a square ovolo-moulded surround with fluted Doric columns, a scrolled frieze, and a dentilled cornice, along with an overmantel featuring Ionic columns and a heraldic shield with strapwork. These fireplaces are said to have originated from Woodhouse Castle in Horningsham, which has since been demolished.
