Description

The Manor House is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century, constructed of limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and a graduated stone slate roof. The main part of the house has two storeys and three bays, with a two-bay wing at the rear behind the first two bays. The building features quoins and a central six-panel door, where the top two panels are glazed. This door is set within an elaborate architrave that includes flanking pilasters, an entablature, and a cornice. Above the door, there is a panel flanked by three scrolls that forms an apron to the central first-floor window, which has a slightly eared architrave. The house has sash windows with glazing bars throughout, and the ground and first-floor windows are in slightly projecting plain surrounds, all with projecting sills. There are moulded stone gutter brackets and corniced stacks with four flues to the right and two flues to the left, as well as between the second and third bays.

At the rear, there is a six-panel door to the left of centre, set in a shouldered architrave with a keystone. To the left of this door, there is a blocked doorway with a partly destroyed lintel that has the remains of a recessed plaque with the date "170_" in relief. The first-floor stair window in the centre features interlaced glazing bars within an architrave that has pilasters and alternate stressed voussoirs leading to a round arch. On the left side of the house, there are sash windows with glazing bars on both the ground and first floors, along with a corbelled chimney stack. The rear wing has a two-panel door with tie-stone jambs, and the windows have been restored. The east facade of the projecting two-bay wing shows the remains of a blocked chamfered archway with an inserted window to the left, and external steps lead to a boarded door with a plain lintel. The interior has not been inspected during the resurvey, but it is noted to contain early panelled doors and shutters.
