Description

The Manor is a country house dating to circa 1830, with later alterations. It is constructed of stuccoed brick with ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof with lead flashings. The main front has five bays, with two projecting bays on the left. A mid-to-late 19th-century entrance porch is centrally located at ground floor level, featuring paired Tuscan columns with pilaster responds, a six-panelled door, and a fanlight. The first floor has a two-light sash window with an ashlar surround and mullions with four-centred arches to the lights. A projecting bay to the right of this has aprons below the ground and first-floor windows, creating a continuous section of ashlar walling. This bay contains a three-light ground-floor sash window with bar-stopped chamfering and four-centred arches to the lights, a string course above the window, and a rectangular cartouche above a three-light first-floor window with run-out stops to the chamfering. Recessed bays to the right display arched sash windows with three panes and intersecting glazing bars to the tops, set within pointed wooden surrounds with casement mouldings on stone sills. A canted mid-19th-century bay window is located to the right of the recessed windows, with single-pane lights at the angles. The majority of the sashes are horned.

The right hand return features a mid-19th-century canted bay with French windows at the centre and angles, each containing three panes. To the left are two pointed arched ground-floor bays, mirrored by similar first-floor bays above. An ashlar bay at the right corner replicates the appearance of the feature on the main front. A tower is positioned on the left hand return, featuring double doors at ground floor and two-light first-floor windows, surmounted by a pyramidal roof. A single bay is located to the right of the tower with single-light ground floor and first floor windows. Adjacent to this is a slightly projecting, gabled three-bay portion with 19th-century sash lights. Another projecting gabled bay to the right has four single-light ground floor windows with four-centred heads, and a triple window to the first floor, with a stone surround and chamfered mullions. A shallow pedimented gable sits above, featuring a central porthole window.

The rear elevation exhibits a five-bay portion to the left, with French windows at ground floor far left and a projecting 20th-century bay at the right. Above these are two single-light arched windows at the far left, and three windows to the right, two of 2x2 panes and one of 3x4 panes, all with intersecting glazing bars at the tops. To the right is a recessed portion containing a 20th-century window, a recessed porch, and a sash window above with a gable. A tower at the right has a single sash window and a porthole window above. Paired consoles adorn the eaves of all sides of the house.

The interior staircase hall features a flying stair leading to a first-floor gallery on four sides, with a skylight above. A study contains Jacobean panelling with Ionic pilasters and strapwork to the lower bodies. Ground floor windows have shutter cases with Gothick panelling.
