Description

Manor Cottage is a house dated 1663, with a probable mid-18th century extension and reordering, along with 20th-century restoration. It is constructed of limestone rubble with gritstone dressings and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with an outshut at the rear of the first bay. The entrance is located at the gable end, featuring a 20th-century glazed door in a plain surround, with quoins to the left between the original house and the outshut. The windows have been restored, with the south front displaying a left-side 16-pane 20th-century casement in a reset recessed and chamfered surround. The central and right sections have two 4-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows on the ground floor, with the central mullion missing on the left, all beneath a continuous hoodmould. On the first floor, there is a 3-light recessed mullion window on the left, with hollow chamfered mullions, and a 6-pane window in a reset recessed and chamfered surround on the right. A large rubble stack is present at the left end, with a 20th-century stone stack on the right.

The rear facade, facing the street, features paired 16-pane sashes on the far left, with a 9-pane sash above. There is a curved newel stair wall in the angle of the projecting bay on the right, which includes a small recessed chamfered stair window and an inserted 6-pane window in a sawn stone surround. The projecting bay has a 2-light recessed and chamfered mullion window on each floor, with the lower window's surround reusing 17th-century masonry. Inside, the dated lintel "T 1663 S" was removed to the east gable wall during restoration around 1980; it was originally located in the west end of the north wall, covered by the added outshut bay, likely used for dairy and storage. The 17th-century stone newel stair remains, accessible from the central living room.
