Description
Manor House, dated 1765, is constructed of limestone ashlar with a 20th-century plain tile roof. It follows a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high with an attic. The front facade has a five-window arrangement. The central entrance features a six-panel door within a moulded stone surround with a pulvinated frieze and cornice, and is topped by a fanlight with diagonal glazing bars and a quatrefoil design. Sash windows with glazing bars are set beneath stone lintels featuring keyblocks. The building has a chamfered plinth and rusticated quoins at the corners. Three hipped roof dormers are present. The exterior details include a moulded stone cornice and ashlar gable parapets, with brick and stone stacks at each end. A flight of stone steps with an iron handrail leads to the front door. The right gable displays three cross casements under wood lintels. A rainwater head from a hidden valley incorporates the date and an armorial crest. The rear elevation features irregularly spaced sash windows similar to those on the front. The interior contains an 18th-century staircase with turned balusters. First-floor rooms are characterised by wood fireplace surrounds, each having a pulvinated frieze. One fireplace has a moulded stone inner surround with a reeded keyblock, reminiscent of the design found at Stanwick Hall.
