Description
The Manor House and attached walls to the north and south are a house dating from the late 17th century, extended in the 18th century and modified in the 19th century. The building is constructed of squared coursed limestone with ashlar dressings and features a Collyweston slate roof. It has a double depth plan and stands two storeys high with an attic. The main front has a five-window range, with a central arch-headed doorway that features mid-19th century quoins, voussoirs, and a keystone, leading to a 19th century panelled door. The windows are two-light stone mullions with transoms, and there are ashlar quoins. There are also a pair of hipped roof dormers with 18th century casement windows, and the hipped roof is topped with a central ashlar stack. The left and right elevations of the main front each have one two-light window and one single-light window, similar to those on the main front. The left elevation includes 19th century sash windows with glazing bars and one hipped roof dormer, while the rear elevation has a 19th century sash window with glazing bars. Attached to the left and right of the main front are late 18th century brick quadrant walls with ashlar copings.
Inside, the rooms to the left and right of the entrance feature panelled dados, with parts displaying 18th century fielded panelling. A late 17th century staircase rises around an open well to the rear right of the entrance passage, featuring a closed string with a moulded handrail, turned balusters, and panelled newels. The first floor room to the left has a late 17th century stone fireplace with a frieze and side panels decorated with elongated scrolls, while the room to the right has a late 17th century fireplace with a continuous moulded stone surround. The 18th century range at the rear includes a half cellar.
