The Manor House

The Manor House is a farmhouse, originally part of a larger manor house once connected to Colville Hall. It dates to the early 17th century, likely with earlier origins, and has undergone later additions and alterations. Constructed of rubble sandstone, the building has a pantile roof. Its layout is T-shaped, with an 18th-century wing added to the rear. The building is two storeys high, with a cellar at the east end.

The south elevation has four first-floor windows. From left to right on the ground floor, there is a two-light casement window, a two-light casement window within a door surround, a four-panel door with a timber trellis porch and partial glazing, a double-chamfered window surround, a large casement window, and a single-light double-chamfered window next to an external parlour fireplace stack. The first floor features a three-light casement window, a double-chamfered mullion window, and two further two-light double-chamfered mullion windows. The building has shaped kneelers and ashlar coping. Brick stacks are located at the left end and between the second and third first-floor windows; a brick superstructure is present at eaves level on the parlour fireplace stack, and a ball finial tops the right coping.

At the rear, to the left of the wing, there’s a ground-floor single-light double-chamfered window, and a first-floor single-light double-chamfered window and a two-light double-chamfered mullion window. To the right of the wing are blocked openings including the right-hand jamb of a Tudor-arched doorway internally, a ground-floor single-light window, and part of a first-floor window; there's also an ovolo-shaped kneeler and moulded coping to the left.

The right return elevation has a cellar window, a ground-floor two-light double-chamfered mullion window, and an early 15th-century sash window with thick glazing bars; a first-floor three-light side-sliding sash window is also present.

Internally, within a section of the original north wall, partly hidden by the kitchen wing, is a chamfered Tudor-arched doorway, along with part of another doorway visible externally. A two-light double-chamfered mullion window is also present on the ground floor, alongside an old oak board door. The building has good oak beams supporting the first floor, some of which are chamfered. The parlour at the right end contains an 18th-century fireplace with an architrave, a scotia frieze, and an early 19th-century cast-iron gate.
