Manor House, With Bink And Garage

This is a mid- to late 17th-century manor house, with a projecting bink to the left and a garage projecting to the right. The bink may date to the 19th century, and the early 19th-century garage has been altered later. The main house is built of coursed rubble, with a stone slate roof. The bink is constructed of rubble slabs, while the garage is of rubble with a corrugated sheet roof.

The house is two storeys high with four first-floor windows. Quoins are visible on the left-hand side. A part-glazed door is set within a chamfered, quoined ashlar surround, located between the first and second bays. The first bay features flat-faced mullion windows within ashlar architraves; these were originally of three lights but are now two. The second bay has a nine-pane casement window in a chamfered ashlar surround on the ground floor, and a two-light, flat-faced mullion window in an ashlar architrave on the first floor. The third bay has a twelve-pane window set within a surround that originally held a two-light double-chamfered mullion window on the ground floor; the first floor has a similar two-light, double-chamfered mullion window with a slab lintel. The fourth bay's ground floor is obscured by the garage, and there is a 20th-century nine-pane window on the first floor. There is ashlar coping to the right. To the left, a stack appears to have been built around by The Old Inn, with the top of a tapering section visible, suggesting the roof was originally taller and had a steeper pitch. Stacks are also located between the second and third bays, and at the right end. The rear elevation has flush ashlar window surrounds.

Projecting at a right angle from the left end of the front wall of the house is the bink, constructed of rubble sides supporting a slab shelf for milk churns, and continuing upwards to support a slab roof, with a recess in the rear wall. The garage, which was formerly a two-storey cottage, now consists of a single-storey range projecting at a right angle from the right end of the front wall of the house, and features a 20th-century metal garage door. On the right return, a board door is set within a slightly-chamfered, quoined ashlar surround, with cavetto-shaped capitals and a slab lintel, and there are a four-pane window and a six-pane window below deep and slab lintels respectively.

The interior of the house includes roughly-chamfered beams. In a ground-floor room in the third bay, there is an 18th-century ashlar fireplace with a projecting bolection-style section and a corniced mantel shelf. A straight stone staircase with turned balusters—which have been split vertically—is also present. Local tradition holds that the house was the birthplace of Henry, Lord Darnley, in 1545.
