The Manor House

The Manor House is a house dating back to around 1720, with some parts added later in the 18th and early 19th centuries. A rainwater head in situ dates to 1728. The main block is constructed of brick in an English garden wall bond, with renewed pantiled roofs and brick chimney stacks. It is a one-room-deep structure with three wings extending at right angles to the rear. Each wing also has a later extension on its rear face.

The main block is two storeys high and has six bays. A doorway, originally positioned in the fourth bay, was converted into a window between 1984 and 1985. The windows are 15-pane sashes, set in lengthened openings with rubbed-brick flat arches. A lead rainwater head, bearing the date 1728 and initials HBB, is positioned on the right-hand side, along with a decorative downcomer. The building features raised eaves and a renewed moulded gutter. The steeply-pitched roof has stone-coped gables and shaped kneelers, while projecting stepped external chimneys on the returns have rebuilt tops.

The rear wings are two and three storeys high, one or two bays deep, and largely feature altered fenestration. The left rear wing retains some original 12-pane sashes. Stepped eaves courses and coped rear gables are visible on the rear wings. Single-storey extensions, three and four bays wide, extend from the rear of each wing, also with altered fenestration. The extension on the left rear wing has 15-pane sashes. The extensions are joined together, creating a distinctive triple-gabled rear elevation, with a stepped lateral chimney breast on the right rear wing.

Inside, a dogleg staircase has two flights and a landing rail, featuring a closed string with a pulvinated frieze, a ramped square-section handrail, and turned balusters. The landing rail is ramped at the ends and a panelled dado is present. Three first-floor bedrooms in the main block retain original panelling and deep ceiling cornices. The interior also includes two- and six-panel doors and early 19th-century panelled window shutters.
