Description

The Manor House, now used as a house and office, dates from the mid-17th century and was restored in the 19th century. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a 20th-century plain tile roof. The building has a T-shape plan and is two storeys tall with an attic. The main front has a three-window range, with a gabled cross wing that projects forward to the right.

A central square stone bay window with a gable includes a six-light stone mullion window with a transom on the ground floor, and a similar six-light window on the first floor. There is a blocked two-light attic window. The right bay, the gable of the cross wing, and the return wall of the cross wing each have two-light stone mullion windows, and the two-light attic window in the cross wing is also blocked.

To the left of the centre, there is a ribbed and studded door with a moulded stone surround and a four-centred arch head. A similar square-headed door on the return wall of the cross wing is set under a wooden lintel. The building features ashlar gable parapets and a central ashlar stack.

The rear elevation has a three-window range of mainly 19th-century stone mullion windows, while the elevation to the right of the main front has a similar two-window range. Inside, the central room boasts fine 17th-century full-height panelling with a frieze decorated with scrolls and vine leaves, along with a 17th-century fireplace featuring a similar overmantel. The room at the rear of the cross wing also has similar panelling and a 17th-century fireplace with a four-centred head, as well as moulded spine beams. A 19th-century staircase is located to the far left. Historical records indicate that the property was originally part of the Rectory, owned by Lawrence Washington in 1567.
