Description
The Manor House is a manor house built in 1656 by mason Valentine Strong, likely designed by Richard Whitmore, the Lord of the Manor. The building was altered and enlarged in 1864 and 1891, adopting a style reminiscent of the 17th century to appear more modern. Originally, the house was of the Commonwealth type, featuring a four-square layout with a hipped roof. It is constructed of coursed stone with a tiled roof and has two storeys and an attic on a plinth. The facade includes five windows and three gabled dormers, but it has been refronted and refenestrated, with the central entrance removed. A large two-bay wing was added to the east in 1891, which is a late Victorian interpretation of the original rather than a direct copy, featuring two and five-light stone mullioned windows and two flat-topped dormers. The original shape of the house is more visible from the garden (north) front. The interior retains significant fittings that contribute to its listing, including a hall fireplace dated 1658, a dining room fireplace of Baroque character that may have been reset, and a fine allegorical plaster ceiling.
