Description
The Manor House is a manor house dating from the mid 17th century, with interior alterations made in the 18th century and an extension added in the early 20th century. It is constructed from thinly-bedded limestone with dressed stone quoins and features a stone slate roof with ashlar stacks, one of which is now rendered. The building has a 'T'-shaped plan for the 17th-century range, with a roadside front extension from the early 20th century. There is also a late 19th-century lean-to extension at the rear, which is not of special interest.
The house has two storeys, an attic, and a cellar. The front features three large Cotswold dormers facing the road, with a fourth dormer added in the 20th century on the far left. The 17th-century range includes 20th-century two and three-light hollow-chamfered stone-mullioned casements on the ground floor, and a single original stone-mullioned casement to the right of the porch. The first floor has two and three-light stone-mullioned casements, with a continuous dripmould spanning the three windows above the porch. The gables also feature two-light stone-mullioned casements.
The entrance includes an early 20th-century studded plank door set within a late 19th-century stone-built porch, which has two-light stone-mullioned casements on the side walls. The gable features two and three-light stone-mullioned casements with stopped hoods, and the upper part of a former three-light stone-mullioned casement is visible in the cellar below. The rear has two and three-light stone-mullioned casements, all with leaded panes and stopped hoods.
The extension features a large three-light stone-mullioned casement with a stopped hood on the ground floor, matching the casement above, and a small single-light casement with leaded panes in the gable. The gables have stepped coping and there are axial and gable-end stacks.
Inside, the 18th-century openwell staircase and contemporary panelling in the stairwell are notable features. The front right-hand room contains a large Tudor-arched stone fireplace, and there are beams with deep flat-chamfers and moulded stops. The kitchen range at the rear has an inglenook fireplace with a bressumer. Only the ground floor was inspected.
