Description
Manor House is a house dated 1681, with alterations from the mid to late 18th century and late 20th century. It is built of coursed squared gritstone and has a graduated stone slate roof. The structure consists of two parts: a two-storey, two-bay block on the left and a two-storey, two-bay addition on the right, both featuring quoins.
The left block likely has a lobby-entry plan and includes a 20th-century board door on the right, surrounded by a quoined chamfered surround, with an oval window above it inscribed "GM 1681". The windows throughout are recessed and chamfered, with returned hoodmoulds on the ground floor. The left side on the ground floor has a four-light window, now modified to a two-light window with paired 16-pane sashes. The center has a five-light window, now a three-light window with a narrow light of 12 panes paired with 16-pane sashes. On the first floor, there are two four-light windows, now modified to two-light windows with paired 16-pane sashes.
In the right block, there are 20th-century garage doors on the right, and a four-light window, now a two-light window with paired 9-pane frames on the left. The first floor features a 16-pane sash window on the left and a four-light window, now a two-light window with paired 12-pane sashes in the center. The building has moulded kneelers and gable copings, with the left kneeler topped by a ball finial. A large banded ridge stack is located above the door, and there is a corniced stack on the left. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey.
