Description
The Manor House is a manor house dating from the mid 17th century, which was restored in the early 20th century. It is built of squared coursed lias stone and has an asbestos tile roof. The original layout consists of three units with a cross wing to the right. The house has two storeys with an attic. The main front features a four-window arrangement of three-light stone mullioned windows with hood moulds. The central door, from the 20th century, has a moulded stone surround and a four-centred arch head, flanked by four-light stone mullioned windows with hood moulds. There is a central dormer with a two-light stone mullion window, and the gables have ashlar parapets and kneelers. Stone stacks are located at both ends, and the elevations on the left and right are similar, featuring stone mullion windows. There is a cellar beneath the left bay with two stone mullion windows. The rear of the house was extended in the early 20th century.
Inside, the room to the left of the entrance has a 17th-century corner fireplace with a moulded stone surround. The room to the right features a large 17th-century open fireplace with a moulded stone surround decorated with roundels. The room at the far right contains the remains of an open fireplace. Three first-floor rooms have 17th-century fireplaces with moulded stone surrounds. The staircase to the attic retains some original splat balusters.
