Description
The Manor House, which likely has medieval origins, primarily dates from the late 16th century and was remodeled in the late 18th century. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a 20th-century artificial stone slate roof. Originally, it was probably a single-ended hall house, but it now has a three-unit plan with a cross wing and stands two storeys tall.
The entrance front has a three-window range with irregularly spaced plain and tripartite sash windows, all featuring glazing bars, under wood lintels and gauged stone heads. To the left of the center, there is a six-panelled door beneath a similar head, which is sheltered by a glazed porch. The right side has an ashlar gable parapet and a brick stack at the ridge.
Attached to the rear of the cross wing is a lower range that runs at right angles to the entrance front, which includes casement windows and a 20th-century door to the right. The garden front also has a three-window range, with the gabled cross wing projecting forward to the right. The cross wing features four-light stone mullion windows on the ground floor and a larger window with a transom on the first floor, although the upper lights of this window are blocked. Other windows on this side are plain and tripartite sashes under gauged stone heads, with ashlar surrounds and a 20th-century porch at the center.
The garden front is adorned with ashlar gable parapets and two lateral ashlar stacks with moulded cornices where the cross wing meets the main range. To the left of the garden front, there is an 18th-century brick wall that connects to an 18th-century ashlar gatepier topped with a ball finial. This gatepier pairs with another gatepier located approximately 20 meters northeast of the Manor House. The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted to have arched braced roof trusses above a later ceiling in the first-floor room of the cross wing, which was likely the solar of the hall house.
