Manor House

This is a manor house dating to 1884-5, designed by George Devey. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with pebble-dash on the gables, and has a plain tile roof with gable-ended cross-wings. The chimney stacks are axial and lateral, with red brick shafts and brick cornices.

The building is arranged in an "H" shape, with a long central range flanked by cross-wings and an entrance vestibule and stairhall to the left of the centre. The service rooms are located to the south.

The west front is asymmetrical, featuring projecting gabled cross-wings with moulded bargeboards, small pendants, pebble-dash gable surfaces, and a moulded bresummer below. The main roof between the wings has lower eaves. A doorway to the left of the centre is topped by a chamfered four-centred stone arch, a hoodmould and glazed double doors. Most windows are three-light casements set in segmental-headed openings, with stair windows under the eaves on the left and right sides of the doorway.

The south return includes a four-centred arch service doorway to the left of a large projecting lateral stack; the stack has stone quoins that continue into the red brick shaft, which includes a tumbled brick set-off. To the right of the stack is a large, semi-circular oven with a tile roof and a tile-hung gable. A single-storey outhouse to the left has a gable end mirroring the main gables.

The rear (east) elevation has cross-wings similar to the front. A gable on the right is supported by a two-storey rectangular bay window with pebble-dash cladding and corner braces on corbels. A blocked, chamfered four-centred stone arch doorway is located to the left of the right-hand cross-wing, alongside various two, three, four and five-light casements, with the ground floor openings being large and set in segmental arches.

The interior retains much of the original joinery, including two-panel doors and the main and servants’ stairs, which feature moulded and stick balusters respectively. The ground floor chimney pieces have been replaced, with the exception of that in the kitchen fireplace, and most of the first-floor chimney pieces remain. A partition wall separating the front and back rooms in the north cross-wing has been removed.
