Description

The Manor House with front garden wall dates from 1842. It is constructed of coursed squared gritstone with a grey slate roof. The house is a square, two-storey building of three bays, with cellars beneath the rear rooms. A central 20th-century glazed door, with an overlight, is set beneath a porch supported by two Ionic columns, a deep entablature, and a cornice. The ground floor has eight-pane casement windows, while the first floor has fifteen-pane sash windows, all in architraves. Deep eaves are carried on wooden consoles, and the roof is shallowly hipped, with side stacks and coupled flues. The rear elevation features a late 20th-century door and two small first-floor windows, with the remainder of the windows being original sashes. The left return has a blind window on the ground floor, centrally placed, with another window mirroring the front. The right return has an entrance, now partially covered by a 20th-century single-story addition.

Inside, original four-panel doors, a staircase with waisted balusters and a ramped handrail, and window shutters remain. The cellars are stone-built, containing two arched vaults: one over a well, and the other over a culvert (both now covered), leading to the road.

The garden wall, approximately 30 by 20 metres, encloses the garden on the north, east (front), and south sides of the house. The north (south-facing) wall is the tallest, reaching approximately 4 metres, with a deep ramp down to 1.5 metres across the east front of the house. The south side has the lowest wall, with steps down to an enclosed paddock or orchard. A low wooden gate is located on the east side, and a board door is on the north side. The wall is topped with flat coping of large slabs.
