Description
The Manor House is a house dated 1715, with 20th-century alterations. It is built from slobbered rubble with stone dressings and squared rubble on the porch, topped with a stone slate roof. The house has two storeys and three bays.
The central entrance porch is gabled and two storeys high, featuring an entrance to the right of centre with a chamfered surround and a decorated lintel inscribed with the initials W E and a heart between them, along with slate hood moulds. A 20th-century plank door leads into the house. To the left, there is a small chamfered window on the ground floor. The upper storey projects about 20 cm and is supported on a thick slate course, featuring a tall two-light flat-faced mullioned window. The gable has a triangular arrangement of pigeon holes.
On the left side, there is a two-light double chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor, with a slate drip mould, and a similar window above it. On the right side, there is a three-light double chamfered mullioned window on the ground floor, also with a slate drip mould, and a similar two-light window above. All windows have 20th-century casements or fixed lights.
The right-hand gable end features a massive projecting stepped chimney stack with a small fire window. Inside, there is a massive segmental arched stone fireplace in the front right room.
