A grade 2 listed building this impressive former manor house dates back to 1452 since which time it has twice being extended to the rear, firstly in 1861 and again more recently in the 20th century. Both extensions are in keeping with and replicate the aesthetically pleasing appearance of the house’s original architecture. Particularly noteworthy are the medieval timber framed construction, really impressive ornamental barge boards to the back roof and side entrance porch, original wrought iron glazing bars dividing the lights into very small panes all crowned with a Swithland slate roof. The interior is also impressive with original fireplaces and exposed ceiling beams, trusses and joists. Outside are picnic tables on a paved patio area and lawned garden. Also there’s play equipment in a children’s play area.
