Description
The Manor House is a house that was originally the right wing of a larger manor, built in the early 18th century with some alterations made in the 19th century. It features narrow, hand-made brick in an irregular English garden wall bond, painted white on the front and pebble-dashed on the rear. The roof is covered with ridged concrete tiles, and there is a rebuilt brick chimney stack. The house has two storeys and three bays, with a double band between the storeys.
On the left side, there is a partly-glazed, six-panel door set in a moulded stone surround that includes a frieze and cornice. The windows are four-pane sashes, although the intermediate glazing bars have been removed, and they are set in 19th-century openings with flush lintels and projecting sills. A projecting course runs along the eaves, and the steeply-pitched roof has a chimney stack at the right end.
At the center rear, there is a two-storey gabled stair-wing that features a twelve-pane sash window with thick glazing bars. An additional two-storey outshut is present, along with a single-storey lean-to extension on the right rear. Inside, one ground-floor room retains early 18th-century panelling, and there are six-panel doors with wood architraves on the ground floor, while the first floor has five-panel doors in panelled reveals. The staircase is a cut-string, open-well design with three flights and a landing rail, featuring two turned balusters per tread and a square-sectioned, ramped and wreathed handrail.
