Description

The Manor House is a house dating from the early 17th century, with later alterations in the late 18th century, and likely remodelling in the 1920s. It is constructed of rubble limestone with gritstone dressings and has stone slate roofs. Stone coped gables feature plain kneelers on the later 18th-century section, and there are two ridge stacks and two gable end stacks.

The east elevation presents a lower 17th-century section of seven irregular bays. From left to right, it features a low square window, a 20th-century doorway and window in a stone surround, a 20th-century 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion window, another 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion window (with a lowered sill in the 20th century), and then two 20th-century canted bays with stone mullions. A 20th-century plank door is situated between the two canted bays, which are flanked by stone jambs and a lintel. The first floor of the 17th-century section has a 3-light recessed and chamfered mullion window, and a window on each side within gabled dormers featuring stone copings, plain kneelers, and ball finials. The left dormer has a 3-light recessed and chamfered window, while the right has a 3-light recessed and chamfered window with a transom. All windows incorporate diamond-leaded lights.

To the right of the 17th-century section is a symmetrical three-bay late 18th-century addition. A mid-19th-century half-glazed porch, with a Venetian window-like outline at the top, is centrally positioned and is accessed by four stone steps with curved walls and end piers. The porch has a stone surround and a half-glazed door. Flanking the porch are glazing bar sashes in stone surrounds, with three matching windows above.

Inside the early 17th-century section, a plaster ceiling with “egg and dart” and Tudor Rose motifs exists, which may be original.
