Description
Whiteoxen Manor House is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, dated 1703 on the doorway lintel. It is constructed of stone rubble and has a slate roof on both gable ends. The building appears to have a three-room plan with a central entrance located between the right-hand and centre rooms, while the third service room to the left disrupts the symmetry. There are lean-to outshuts at the rear and rebuilt brick chimney stacks at the gable ends, along with an axial stack to the left of the centre room. The house is two storeys high and has an overall long six-window range, with a symmetrical arrangement of five windows on the right side, while the left-hand window is slightly more widely spaced. The windows are chamfered granite two-light stone mullion windows with casements that have leaded panes. There are two wooden windows on the first floor left and one on the ground floor right. The granite doorway to the right of centre features a moulded four-centred arch and a 20th-century hipped slate hood. Inside, the first-floor right-hand room has a moulded plaster overmantel above the fireplace, which is missing its chimney piece. The overmantel is decorated with fleur-de-lis and thistles, surrounded by an arabesque or animal frieze, and is dated 1703. The ceiling beams are roughly chamfered and now exposed, with reused granite fireplace lintels.
