This impressive former manor house 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. The central bar area has few seats, but there are several rooms each side, most of which have an emphasis on dining. Upstairs rooms. Outside are picnic tables on a paved patio area and a lawned garden; also a children’s play area.
