Description

The Old Manor House is a detached house dating from the mid-17th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with a hipped tiled roof, featuring bands of fishscale tiles and stone and brick stacks in the valley. The house has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, presenting a three-window view to the east. The central entrance has a six-panelled door within a moulded stone surround, leading to a stone porch with a hipped roof and a moulded doorway. Cellar windows flank the entrance; to the left is a two-light chamfered mullioned casement and to the right a three-light mullioned casement. Above the entrance are three-light ovolo-moulded mullioned and transomed windows with hoodmoulds. Matching three-light mullioned and transomed windows, also with hoodmoulds, are on the first floor, all with leaded casements.

The right return, now the main entrance front, features a gabled stone porch with a moulded doorway and hoodmould. Within the porch is a nine-panelled door. The verge of the porch is coped and decorated with a swan holding a coronet. Below the porch are a three-light chamfered mullioned cellar casement and a three-light mullioned and transomed window with a hoodmould. The first floor above has two mullioned and transomed casements. Two hipped attic dormers contain two-light casements with leading.

The rear of the house has a late 19th-century single-storey brick lean-to extension. The first floor of the rear elevation includes two ovolo-mullioned casements, one above the other, which illuminate the central staircase. Two cross windows with hoodmoulds flank the extension. The left return features three-light mullioned and transomed casements on both floors and a pair of two-light casements within two hipped dormers.

During a survey in October 1986, the interior was inaccessible but was reported to retain good original 17th-century features, including a staircase with splat balusters, and a first-floor stone fireplace with volutes and rich foliage carving.
