Description
The Manor House and attached walls to the south are a manor house dating from the early and mid to late 17th century and early 19th century. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone, with the main range featuring an ashlar banded facade. The roofs are made of Collyweston slate and concrete tiles. The main range, which dates from the mid to late 17th century, originally had a three-unit plan and is two storeys high with a three-window range. It includes two slightly canted bay windows that are two storeys tall, featuring ovolo moulded mullions and transoms, topped with slated roofs. There is also a two-light, ovolo moulded stone mullion window with a transom located on the first floor at the far left. The central entrance has a six-panel door with a moulded stone square-head surround. The gable parapets and ridge and end stacks are made of ashlar and feature moulded cornices and pulvinated friezes.
To the right, there is an early 17th-century two-window range that has leaded casements beneath wooden lintels, along with ashlar gable parapets and a concrete tile roof. A large stone stack is located at the end of this section. The garden front at the rear features six-paned sash windows under gauged stone heads, with a central part-glazed door also under a similar head. A small gabled wing projects forward to the left, which includes a canted bay window in the gable end. Attached to the left and right of the garden front are 18th and early 19th-century walls that have ashlar copings and partially enclose the upper lawn. The wall on the left continues south to enclose the lower garden.
Inside, the entrance hall features an early 19th-century staircase with a stick balustrade, and there are six-panelled doors with early 19th-century surrounds. The room to the far right of the entrance has remnants of an open fireplace, while the room to the far left contains a 17th-century corner fireplace with a moulded stone surround. The cellar includes a two-light stone mullion window.
