The Manor House

The Manor House is a manor house and attached cottage, now combined into a single dwelling, likely dating from the late 16th and 17th centuries. Datestones indicate work in 1714 and 1737. The building is constructed of regular coursed lias stone with a thatched roof and has a U-shaped plan with a cross wing on the left. It is two storeys and has an attic. The main front has a six-window range of irregularly spaced 19th-century casement windows, set beneath wooden lintels; those on the right have chamfered stone sills. A gable to the left features a leaded attic casement. A central 20th-century door is set beneath a flat hood. The right side has a four-window range with two stone gabled eaves dormers and ashlar gable parapets and kneelers. The left side, originally a two-window range, was added later as a separate cottage. A datestone of 1737 on the right side of the gable may refer to the raising of the eaves parapet. Brick and stone stacks are visible at the ridge and end of the roof. The rear of the building features projecting wings on the left and right; the left wing has a datestone of 1714. A 19th-century square stone bay window is centrally positioned on the rear. Inside, the majority of ground and first-floor rooms feature stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. A small open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer is found in the first-floor west room. Original features include two-panelled and plank doors, a fanlight with leaded diamond panes and original glass in the cottage, dogleg staircases, and a blocked 17th-century window with diagonal wood-mullions in the east gable of the attic. The original roof structure remains.
