Description
Manor House is a house that likely dates from the mid to late 17th century, with restoration carried out in the late 19th century. It features a timber frame with stone rendering and a roof made of stone slates, with some Westmorland slates near the ridge. The building has a two-storey, L-shaped plan and includes a projecting two-storey porch on the south side of the east wing. The porch has a 20th-century board door and a glazed double door, while the windows are from the 19th century. There is an external stack at the south end of the west wing and a gable stack at the east end of the east wing, both of which are rendered but have upper parts that have been renewed in brick.
Inside, the entrance hall features a stone flag floor, a timber post, panelled partitions, and a large restored open fireplace. Originally, there was an entrance passage from Waterside located behind the fireplace. The main living room at the south end of the west wing boasts fine carved panelling with arcading and scrolls, along with a fireplace that has masks and the date 1661 in the overmantle. The room above also has similar fine panelling and is associated with Oliver Cromwell. There is a 20th-century extension at the east end of the east wing. The chequered paintwork, which originally extended over the ground floor, dates from before the late 19th-century restoration.
