Description
The Old Manor House is a former farmhouse dating to the mid-17th century, with alterations from the 18th and early 19th centuries. It adjoins Stable Cottage (listed separately). The building is constructed of limestone with dressed stone quoins, and limestone rubble for an 18th-century extension. It has an artificial stone slate roof at the front, some stone slate at the rear, and ashlar and brick stacks.
The main body of the house is two storeys and an attic, with a single-storey 18th-century extension projecting at right angles off-centre to the left. The front facade has a three-window arrangement, with three-light wooden casements with transoms, and large 19th-century nine-pane fixed casements, one tripartite sash with horizontal glazing bars lower right. A single three-light metal casement, possibly inserted in the 20th century, is above the porch. Three two-light raking half dormers light the attic. The early 19th-century front door has six flush panels, set within a round-headed surround with a fanlight, and is protected by a gabled ashlar porch. The 18th-century extension has 20th-century glazed double doors to its gable end and two two-light casements to the return side.
The right gable end, facing the road, features two two-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements with hollow-chamfered mullions and a shared hoodmould, which continues across the projecting first-floor stack. A stone scratch sundial (potentially dated 1710) is situated on the projecting stack. Two single-light stone-mullioned casements light the attic. The rear has two-light wooden casements and a single twelve-pane sash window. Two single-light windows are located in the projecting gable, with hollow-moulded surrounds, apparently illuminating a staircase.
The roof features a projecting first-floor stack with moulded corbels at the right gable end, and on both projecting gables at the rear. One stack has had its shafts removed, while the other two retain twin diagonal shafts. The interior remains uninspected.
