Description
Manor House is a house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. It is constructed of sarsen stone with a timber-framed and tile-hung upper floor, and features a brick cross wing on a stone moulded sill. The house has a thatched roof and stands two storeys high with an attic, comprising three bays, along with a four-bay cross wing at the east end, which was refurbished in the 20th century.
The main entrance is centrally located on the south side, featuring a four-panelled door with a canopied brick porch from the 18th century. The inner door has a moulded three-centred head. The flanking windows are from the 19th century, replacing 17th-century ovolo moulded stone windows, of which one partially survives on the south side, along with three at the west gable end and two smaller windows on the north. The upper floor has 18th-century leaded ovolo timber casements. There is a 20th-century conservatory at the angle with the cross wing, which was originally a barn and now has two re-set 2-light stone-mullioned windows at the south end, along with some later windows. The gable stacks include a rebuilt west stack.
Inside, there are partitions in the narrow central bay of timber framing leading to a through hall. The library at the west end features reset 17th-century panelling that originally came from Devon. Historical records indicate that a Manor building was noted in the estate papers of the Earl of Pembroke in 1504.
