Description

The Manor House, located 500 meters north of the porch, is a detached house dating from the 17th century, with modifications and late 20th century additions by Frank Taylor, a master mason. The building is constructed of ham stone ashlar and features Welsh slate roofs between coped gables and stone slab chimney stacks. It has a T-plan layout and is two storeys high with an attic. The north elevation consists of seven bays, with the sixth and seventh bays being 20th century additions. The windows are hollow chamfered mullioned types set in wave mould recesses, with labels above the lower windows and upper bays three and four. The first bay and seventh bay have two-light windows, while bays three, four, five, and six have three-light windows, and there is no window in upper bay five. A dormer window is situated over bay six. Bay two features a projecting porch with a cambered arched doorway and a circular light above, along with single light windows on the sides and an obelisk finial on the gable, which is also a 20th century addition. There is a chamfered cambered arched doorway between bays four and five, which has no label. The east and west walls of the projection contain tall windows with transoms, and there is also a cambered arched doorway and a projecting chimney stack. Most of the windows above are four-light, while those below are five-light.

Inside, the original cross passage leads to an east room that has a four-meter wide fireplace with an elm cross beam and a side oven. The middle room is from the early 18th century and features fielded panelling with moulded timber coving, six-panel doors, and an unusual beaded surround fireplace with a shell hood cupboard. An early 19th century staircase is present, and there are likely traces of an east gable stair in a first-floor cupboard. In the south wing, some early 17th century panelling with a relocated door can be found, along with a 19th century stone fireplace that has the Vagg arms on the keystone. The roof includes slightly cambered collar trusses, and there is a wattle and daub partition at the east end, featuring a cambered arched doorway. Immediately north of the porch, there is a well with a glass cover.
