The Manor

The Manor is a house that now serves as a private nursing home. It was built in 1780 for James Graham and incorporates a 17th-century core along with early 19th-century additions. The exterior features roughcast walls with V-jointed quoins set on a chamfered plinth, and an extension with pilasters. The roof is hipped and swept, made of graduated greenslate, and there are roughcast chimney stacks.

The building has a two-storey, five-bay facade with an additional bay on the left under a common roof, and a two-storey, five-bay garden facade. At the rear, there is a parallel range that is two and a half storeys high with six bays, flanked by projecting wings—one with three bays and the other with a single bay.

The entrance facade features a panelled door with a radial fanlight and continuous glazed round-headed sidelights, all within a glazed pilastered porch. Above this is a pedimented Venetian window with flanking niches and oval panels. The sash windows have glazing bars and are set in painted stone surrounds. The left extension has a similar upper-floor window, but the ground-floor window is covered by a 19th-century single-storey, two-bay right-angled extension.

The garden facade includes 20th-century panelled doors and a radial fanlight within a panelled reveal and a pedimented Corinthian doorcase. Some sash windows lack glazing bars, all set in painted stone surrounds. The rear sash windows, mostly with glazing bars, are also in painted stone surrounds.
