Description

This is a manor house, likely built in the early 17th century and remodelled in the late 17th century. It is constructed of ironstone ashlar with a rendered plinth and a plain-tile roof, arranged in an L-shaped plan. The house has two storeys and an attic.

The main front has a two-window range, featuring 19th-century casement windows set in original openings. Ground-floor windows have flat stone arches with moulded cornices, while first-floor windows have wooden lintels. A central door, dating from the early 19th century, is set within a moulded wooden doorcase and has a fanlight with glazing bars. A central half-dormer is topped with ashlar parapets and a finial, and two roof dormers have 19th-century bargeboards. The house has ashlar gable parapets and kneelers with finials. Pairs of early 19th-century octagonal brick stacks are located at each end of the building. A blank shield is positioned above the entrance.

The interior has not been inspected, but it is believed to contain evidence of a central carriage arch.

The building was likely originally constructed as a steward’s house for Sir Christopher Hatton’s estate. Attached to the north is a castellated ironstone wall that contains a blocked opening with a four-centred head.
