Description
The Manor House is a building with probable origins in the 15th century, primarily dating from 1591, with later additions from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed from squared coursed and regular coursed limestone, topped with a Collyweston slate roof. The house has an irregular cruciform plan and consists of two storeys and an attic, featuring a main front with a four-window range. To the left, there is a two-window range with two- and three-light stone mullion windows on the first floor and a four-light similar window on the ground floor.
A gabled cross wing projects forward to the right, displaying a two-window range of 19th-century sash windows set within 18th-century plain stone architraves that include keyblocks. The central 20th-century ribbed door is framed by a 17th-century moulded stone surround with a four-centred head. The gable parapets are made of ashlar and topped with finials on the cross wing. The roof features ashlar stacks with moulded cornices along the ridges and a central medieval stack with multiple gabled outlets. The date is inscribed in the spandrels of the doorway.
To the right of the cross wing, there is a lower range that has a first-floor cross casement in the gable and a leaded casement to the cellar below, both supported by wooden lintels. The elevations to the right of this range include one cross casement each on the ground and first floors, also under wooden lintels. There are two 18th-century roof dormers, one with a semi-circular pediment and the other with a triangular pediment, both featuring leaded casements. The rear elevation has a central door with a 17th-century moulded stone surround and a four-centred head.
Inside, the kitchen to the left of the entrance retains the remains of an open fireplace with a bressumer. The drawing room to the right features partial 18th-century fielded panelling. The staircase includes a late 17th to early 18th-century turned balustrade at the landing and a mid-18th-century panelled balustrade along the stair. The first-floor landing has remnants of 17th-century panelling in the door and an adjacent wall. The bedroom above the kitchen contains a 17th-century fireplace surround with a four-centred head.
