The Manor House

The Manor House is a house, formerly a rectory, dating to the late 17th century, with substantial rebuilding and extension occurring around 1850. It is constructed of plastered rubble with cob, featuring rubble stacks with 19th-century brick chimney shafts, and slate roofs. The house has an irregular plan, comprising a main block facing east, a smaller, parallel range behind, and a crosswing projecting forward at the north end. The crosswing has a central stack, while the main block features end stacks and a central axial stack within the valley of the parallel roofs. A main staircase is located at the end of the rear wing, adjacent to the crosswing.

The two-story main range and crosswing have attics. The main block presents a six-window facade with mid-19th century large-pane sash windows with single glazing bars on the first floor, and single-pane sashes on the ground floor. A mid- to late-19th century projecting bay with single-pane sashes and curved corner windows, a dentil cornice, and a moulded entablature is located on the left (south) side of the ground floor. A brick wall with a sandstone ball cap forms part of the bay window's exterior. The majority of the window glass throughout the house is original.

The main entrance is situated on the right of the centre, accessed through a mid-19th century six-panel door with a fanlight featuring a radial pattern of glazing bars. A low-pitched gabled timber porch with a plain entablature along the sides and Doric columns provides shelter. The rear wing has a hipped roof, similar fenestration to the front, and a service door. The outer side of the wing exhibits a symmetrical three-window front with 19th-century small-pane casements and glazing bars, with gabled dormers lighting the attics, and hipped roof ends. The rear elevation is irregular, including a round-headed sash with Gothic glazing bars leading to the stairwell, along with other sashes and casements with glazing bars. A rear door, a flat hood on shaped brackets, and rear-facing dormers with glazing bars are also present. One attic pane is inscribed 'W Wotton, Glazier, August 29th 1850'.

The interior primarily displays 19th-century features, and the roof is entirely 19th century. The most significant surviving element from the original 17th-century structure is a fine dog-leg staircase with square section newels and moulded caps, a closed string, a flat-moulded handrail, and turned balusters.
