Manor House

Manor house, dating from 1677 with extensions in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built of regular coursed limestone with an ashlar facade and has a 20th-century plain tile roof. The original design was a shallow H-shape. The building is two storeys with an attic. The front facade has five windows, with gabled end bays that project slightly. A central six-panel, part-glazed door is set within a moulded architrave, with a central panel below a moulded cornice. Above the door is an oval window with a moulded surround. Other ground and first-floor windows are two-light stone mullion windows with transoms, a cyma-moulded architrave, and fascias. Matching two-light windows are also in the gables, with casement windows in two hipped roof dormers. The house has a chamfered plinth and a raised band between the floors. The ashlar gable parapets have kneelers. Ashlar ridge stacks have moulded cornices; the left stack is rendered. A lozenge-shaped datestone is in the left gable, with a similar blank panel on the right. On the right-hand elevation is a three-light stone mullion window to the first floor, with a 20th-century doorway and re-used moulded stone surround below. The left-hand elevation has casement windows with wooden lintels. The rear elevation features a central, gabled stair turret and 19th-century single-storey extensions flanking it. Inside, a 17th-century staircase with a half landing has a turned balustrade and panelled newels with ball finials. The entrance hall and drawing room on the right have 17th-century bolection moulded panelling and matching wooden fireplace surrounds. The dining room and kitchen on the left of the entrance hall retain remains of open fireplaces. Details include stop-chamfered spine beams. A room on the first floor to the right has a fireplace with a bolection moulded and eared surround, short pilasters, and a bolection moulded panel in the overmantle. A room on the first floor to the left of centre features a 17th-century fireplace with a moulded stone surround and sunk panels. The house also contains 17th and 18th-century panelled doors. The back staircase located in the far-left corner likely occupies the position of the original back staircase, which only gave access to the first-floor room positioned at the far left and the attics.
