Description
The Manor House is a house dating from the mid 17th century, with alterations made in the late 18th and 19th centuries. A datestone above the door is inscribed with "1650/EA 1667". The building is constructed of squared and coursed ironstone rubble with a slate roof, featuring two brick ridge stacks—one with a stone base—and a brick stack at the left end. The house has a five-unit plan and is L-shaped, standing two storeys tall.
On the ground floor, there are two 19th-century iron casement windows and one late 18th-century sash window with 16 panes. To the right, there is an additional 19th-century casement window with two lights. The first storey has four 19th-century iron casement windows, each with 12 panes. A 19th-century wood-panelled door, topped with a wood lintel, is located at the front. The door and the corners of the house feature quoins, and the coped gables are supported by kneelers.
To the left, there is an 18th-century extension that includes a garage, made of ironstone with brick jambs and patching, topped with a 20th-century plain-tile roof. This extension is also two storeys high, with 20th-century windows on the lower floor beneath wood lintels and 19th-century casement windows on the upper floor. Large doors on the left side are 20th-century beneath a wood lintel, while a small door to the right is also 20th-century. The extension to the right is from the mid-19th century, built of brick with a slate roof and a brick stack at the right end. It features iron casements and a 19th-century plank door with iron fittings, along with brick lintels and dentilied eaves. The 19th-century stables and coach house extend to the right.
Inside, the house has stone flagged floors and chamfered beams, some of which have stops. There is a stone fireplace with a four-centred arch, as well as a further open fireplace.
