Manor House

Manor House, dating to the 16th century with later 17th-century additions and 20th-century extensions. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a stone slate roof and has an L-shaped plan. The symmetrical south front, dating to circa 1680, is two storeys high with a three-bay central section and two-bay projections to the left and right. The central doorway features an open segmental pediment and a 20th-century glazed door. All windows are two-light designs with stone mullions and transoms. Attic dormers have wooden casements and hipped roofs. The eastern section incorporates a late 16th-century wing that projects northwards and has stone mullioned windows of three- and four-lights with square hoods. A porch dates to 1931, likely the time the north side of the house was re-fenestrated. The interior entrance hall was formerly the kitchen and contains an open fireplace with a segmental stone arch and an oven with an iron door. A late 16th-century well staircase is located south of the hall, featuring turned balusters and newel posts with elongated acorn finials. A large, oblong hall in the south section of the house has a stone fireplace opposite the entrance. This fireplace incorporates re-used late 16th-century stonework with a four-centred arch framed by fluted Corinthian columns and a frieze of stylised leaves. Above the fireplace are the arms of the Cresswell family, carved in stone, and are not in their original location. Late 17th-century five-panel double doors lead from the hall to a room with a fireplace of the same date, featuring a wood bolection surround and a bolection-panelled overmantel. To the west of the hall is a room with re-used late 16th-century panelling and a stone fireplace of the same date, including a four-centred arch. A bedroom on the first floor has a late 17th-century fireplace with a bolection-panelled overmantel framing a canvas painting of a landscape depicting the goddess Diana. A 20th-century extension is located to the west, constructed of limestone rubble with a stone slate roof and wooden casement windows. The garden to the south of the house forms a small forecourt enclosed by low stone walls with four gateways, each featuring plain stone piers and ball finials.
