Description

The Manor House and attached wall is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations from the 18th and early 19th centuries. It is constructed of coursed squared ironstone and ironstone rubble, topped with a tile roof and featuring stone end, ridge, and internal stacks. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a five-window range.

To the left of the centre is a six-panel door with an overlight, surrounded by a rendered frame with Doric half-columns. At the left end, there is a cross wing with a rendered front, a hipped roof, and tripartite sash windows. The main range features irregularly spaced 16-pane sash windows, with flat arches on the ground floor and timber lintels on the first floor. There is a chamfered plinth, some courses of brick at the eaves, three gabled roof dormers, and a stone-coped gable with a kneeler on the right side.

To the left, there is a stone-capped garden wall. The left side elevation includes a moulded string at the first floor level and two very large 17th-century projecting stone stacks with tall coupled stone chimneys. This two-window range was once longer.

Inside, there is a spacious stone-paved staircase hall featuring a good late 18th-century open well staircase with carved tread ends and a wreathed and ramped handrail. One first-floor bedroom has a four-centred arched fireplace.
