Description
Manor House, dating from the 15th century, was largely rebuilt in the 17th century and altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of squared and regular coursed limestone with a Collyweston slate roof. The building follows a 3-unit, lobby-entry plan with a cross-wing. It is two storeys high. The front elevation is an irregular 3-window range featuring 19th-century casement windows under wooden lintels. A central, 19th-century part-glazed door is sheltered by a wooden lintel. The gabled cross-wing projects to the right; the first floor of the gable displays traces of a medieval window surround. A 19th-century casement window is present on the return wall of the cross-wing at ground floor. The left corner of the cross-wing is chamfered and contains a fragment of medieval carvings. A 20th-century buttress is located to the left of the doorway. Ashlar gable parapets are present on the left gable, featuring kneelers. Ashlar ridge and end stacks have moulded cornices. A late 19th-century square wooden bay window is noted on the right side of the cross-wing, with a 19th-century casement window above. A 4-panel door, under a wooden lintel, is situated to the right. The rear elevation mirrors the front, with a similar irregular 3-window range. The gabled cross-wing projects to the right, displaying two windows at first floor and one at ground floor. A 20th-century stable door, under a wooden lintel, is located on the far right, with a blocked door alongside. Within the gable of the cross-wing, evidence of an earlier roofline is visible. The ashlar parapet of the cross-wing incorporates gabled finials and kneelers. A shallow pilaster is present on the right corner, alongside a central 20th-century buttress. The interior was not inspected; however, the kitchen is noted to contain the remains of an open fireplace with a bressumer. A room within the cross-wing also features a small open fireplace. A mid to late 19th-century staircase is located at the rear of the cross-wing. One 18th-century six-panelled door was noted on the right side of the ground floor.
