GV II*
Manor house; renovation and partial re-building in progress at time of survey. Dated 1718 on porch; altered. Coursed squared sandstone (sand-blasted), restored stone slate roof, brick chimneys. Rectangular 3-bay one-and-a-half depth plan with projecting porch. Late example of vernacular style, combining symmetrical form with traditional features. Two-and-a-half storeys, 2:1:2 windows, symmetrical; with a high chamfered plinth, channelled corner pilasters, and plain drip-bands on 2 levels. In the centre is a two-and-a-half storey gabled porch which has a round-headed outer doorway, up 2 semi-circular steps, with a moulded surround and prominent moulded imposts, a recessed fanlight with radiating glazing bars, and a square-headed inner doorway with a moulded architrave and a door with 6 fielded panels; a rectangular datestone inscribed "1718" and a transomed 6-light window at 1st floor, and a cross-window above, both these with moulded architraves and keyblocks and short straight bands over them. Both principal floors have similar transomed 6-light windows, and over each outer bay is a gabled half-dormer with a cross-window; all windows have flat-faced mullions and transoms, all those to the left recently renewed, (and lacked glazing at time of survey). 2 large clustered ridge chimneys. The left gable wall (recently rebuilt) has a central doorway and 2 cross-windows on each floor (except for a 6-light window at 1st floor); the right-hand gable wall is blind. The 4-window rear wall has mullioned windows with chamfered surrounds and flat-faced mullions, including 2 of 4 lights at the east end (the lower altered by insertion of a doorway) and 3 gabled 2-light half-dormers; and 2 double-chamfered cross-windows to the staircase. INTERIOR: direct entry into the centre of 3 principal rooms at ground floor; narrow axial corridor, with small rooms and staircase to rear of this; partition walls of brick (but some now replaced with concrete blocks); some large chamfered beams in the east and rear rooms (but other floors renewed); doglegged staircase with closed string, square newels with shouldered panels, turned balusters and moulded handrail (1st stage removed at time of survey). HISTORY: probably built for Christopher Pennington of Up Holland. A fine example of its type and date. (Private Report and Survey: Miller G: 1987-).
