Description
The Old Manor House is a house dating from 1670, marked by a plaque over the former entrance, which is now within a 20th-century outshut. It was built for Thomas Fairfax and is constructed from magnesian limestone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. The house has an L-shaped plan and features a 20th-century entrance at the rear.
The street-facing facade is two stories high with two first-floor windows. It has a plinth and a tripartite casement window with a partly-renewed chamfered architrave, along with a single light casement window in a chamfered surround. On the first floor, there are three-light windows with partly recut chamfered mullions and surrounds. The gable end has a pair of projecting polygonal-sided stacks. At the rear, there are additional two-light windows with chamfered mullions and architraves, and a pinnacle over the rear gable. The visible portion of the house represents only a small part of the original structure. The building also features a chamfered eaves band and ashlar coping.
