Description
The Manor House is a house dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries, significantly restored and with later alterations. It is constructed primarily of Hythe sandstone and Lodsworth stone rubble, with a tiled roof. Casement windows are a feature. The west elevation originally contained a large window with a pointed head, which is now blocked. A medieval projecting porch is situated on the south side and is buttressed. This porch supports a chimney breast; the first chamfered course of which remains on five corbels with curved heads. Two blocked windows are present here, one with a four-centred arch above and one with a smaller pointed arch. The house is two storeys high, originally with two windows, and includes a 18th-century L-shaped wing to the rear. Inside, a massive 13th-century fireplace has a stone hood, and there is a 16th and 17th-century roof. The building possesses group value.
