Description

The Manor House is a house dating to 1767, built for John Pratt, a racehorse owner. It is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings and has a stone slate roof. The house is three storeys high and five bays wide, with a rear outshut. The central entrance features a six-panel door within an architrave with splayed bases and a cornice supported by consoles. The ground and first floors have sash windows in architraves, while the second floor has unequally-hung sash windows with nine panes. A rainwater head made of lead, bearing the date 1767 and the unregistered coat of arms of John Pratt (three elephants' heads), is located between bays three and four. A brick stack is situated at the right end of the building.

Inside, the dining room on the left of the entrance door has a fireplace from the 18th century, shutters, panelling, a dentilled cornice and moulded ceiling beams. The sitting room on the right of the entrance door features octagonal panelling, likely from the 19th century, a Victorian fireplace, 18th-century shutters, a niche, and moulded ceiling beams. A cantilevered limestone staircase with ogee-section treads and plain wrought-iron balusters rises through the house. The main bedroom has an 18th-century fireplace. The library contains an 18th-century fireplace, shutters and moulded ceiling beams.

The Manor House is a key building within a significant group of structures.
