Manor House

The Manor House is a house, dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. The southern portion was removed due to road widening. It is constructed of painted limestone rubble with painted brick dressings. The right return is thinly-rendered rubble with brick quoins and patching, while the left return has 20th-century rendering. The rear elevation features painted ashlar dressings. The roof is tiled with rendered stone gable copings and 19th-century yellow brick chimneys.

The house is three stories high and originally comprised three bays. The central entrance has a renewed boarded door and 2-pane overlight. The outer bays on the first two floors have 20th-century windows consisting of wood mullions and transoms, set within brick jambs and segmental brick arches. Smaller 8-pane top-floor lights feature a fixed pane to the left and a horizontal sliding sash to the right, accessing the roof space. A cogged brick eaves cornice runs around the building. The steeply-pitched roof has late 19th-century end chimneys with cornices imitating the eaves cornice. The left-hand return displays fragments of earlier walls and external chimneystacks. On the rear, lintels are cut to imitate voussoirs, and the paint has worn, revealing earlier brick.

Inside, at least one ground-floor room contains an 18th-century panelled cupboard and ceiling joists with ogee-stopped chamfered ends. Most other ceilings are underdrawn. The first floor has two lugged painted chimney pieces with hour-glass cast-iron banded grates. The grate in the front left room has low-relief cast floral decoration and a wavy-edged mantel shelf. An arched cupboard beside this has butterfly hinges. There are numerous doors with six raised fielded panels. A dogleg stair in the rear has a narrow moulded handrail on splat balusters, mimicking barleysugar twists, separated by a central knob. Square newels have a plain pendant at the first-floor landing, flanked by paired flat wood arches over the stair. A two-panel door to the roof has L hinges.

The roof trusses have three collars and three levels of butt purlins. Short wall-plates support principal rafters, and brick columns sit below the common rafters. A 18th-century hoist mechanism is located near the center, featuring a nearly-full-height central post, a short strut to the rear, a long strut to the front purlins, and a front spar with two wedge-shaped blocks, likely for retaining ropes. The rear strut at this level exhibits considerable wear. A blocked door in the left gable once provided access to the roof of a demolished building.
