Exterior
Substantial Tudor manorhouse with later C16 and C17 accretions including a mid C17 steeply pitched, hipped roof. The house consists of an early/mid C16 tower house to the NE with hall and parlour wing with porch, probably dating from 1580. The addition of the storeroom to the NE was carried out c1600. A further parlour range was added to the SE c1600-1620. Three storey house, sandstone, rubble elevations, roughly coursed with some dressed sandstone quoins, window dressings and doorways. Hipped and slated roof with overhanging boarded eaves. Two sets of four, diagonally set, shafted chimneys to S end, two further axial stacks to hall and two matching to NE range. Many surviving windows, with sunk chamfered mullions, sunk spandrels, hoodmoulds with a variety of decorative label stops. Front (W) elevation is five bays wide, with a three storey, gabled, asymmetric porch of two phases of construction. Stone coping and slated roof. Four-centred doorway with sunk spandrels within porch. Original window openings to W elevation with some later restoration. Windows on two floors; ground floor windows light hall. Garden (S elevation) clearly shows the chronological development with a change in the masonry, being cruder to the left hand side. Windows on three elevations, aligned, but not symmetrical, many original. Small attic windows set under projecting eaves. Rear (E) elevation has two projecting wings to S and N ends. Wing to S has modern timber mullion and transomed windows to all floors, excepts for two-light, ovolo-moulded window to ground floor. The rear of the main range has a further two breaks in the style of masonry. The left hand side has a two-light and a three-light mullioned window. To the right hand side are modern casements to first and second floor. To ground floor is a lean-to extension with slated roof with two stone, four-light, ovolo-moulded, mullion and transomed windows; to the left of these is a wide four-centred dressed stone doorway. To the N is a lower one and a half storey range with further ovolo-moulded, two-light stone window on the S elevation and a second two-light window with sunk chamfered mullion on the E elevation.
