Description

The Manor House is an 18th-century manor house with a datestone indicating work by Henry Bagley in 1694, alongside later 18th-century alterations. It is constructed of squared and regular coursed lias stone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof laid to diminishing courses. The house has a T-shaped plan, with two storeys and an attic.

The front elevation has a three-window range of 4- and 6-light stone mullion and transom windows. The ground-floor windows are topped with relieving arches containing keystones. The central entrance features a reputed 17th-century panelled and studded door from Whiston Manor House, set within a moulded stone architrave with a linked square and circle pattern, a plain frieze, and a moulded architrave above, all topped with a later pedimented hood. The front has rusticated quoins and plain string courses between floors, with a moulded stone cornice and ashlar gable parapets and kneelers. A central roof dormer has a simple pediment. Ashlar stacks with moulded cornices are visible at the ends of the building. A blocked window on the left gable, containing two 2-light mullioned transomed windows, and two single-light attic windows, remain.

A projecting wing to the rear, facing the garden, has a three-window range; a 4-light stone mullion and transom window with leaded lights is to the right, and two 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars under wood lintels are to the left. The south gable has a blocked door opening with a surround similar to the main front. A datestone is set into the gable to the left of the main front.

Inside, a staircase from the early 18th century features a turned balustrade. The kitchen retains the remains of an open fireplace with a bressumer. A first-floor room in the centre of the front of the house has reset 17th-century panelling. A room to the right has a fireplace with a bolection moulded surround.
