The Manor House Including Former Stables And Coach House

The Manor House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with alterations and additions in 1878 and the 20th century. It was likely built for the Sutton estate. The house is constructed of red brick, with stuccoed and incised detailing to imitate ashlar on the south and east fronts, and has a slate roof. It has a T-shaped layout comprising a two-room, central entrance hall on the south front, with a rear wing containing a central corridor, dining room and kitchen. Adjoining this is a stable and coach house range, now incorporated into the main house.

The south front is of two storeys and three bays, with a symmetrical design. A plinth and rusticated quoins are present. A stone section to the far left corner of the plinth is inscribed "18 EJS 78". Steps lead to a recessed tripartite entrance featuring a six-panelled door with half-glazed panels and an overlight in a chamfered reveal, beneath a cambered wedge lintel with a stepped keystone. Canted bay windows flank the entrance, with central two-over-two sashes and flanking one-over-one sashes, all within chamfered segmental-headed reveals, moulded wood cornices, and flat roofs. The first floor features two-over-two sashes in flush wood architraves with sills and segmental arches. Stepped eaves and banded side-wall stacks are also present.

The right return has irregular fenestration, including four six-over-six ground-floor sashes and three three-over-six first-floor sashes, all in flush wood architraves under segmental arches. A hipped roof tops this return, with a single ridge stack. The lower, two-storey stable and coach house range is set back to the right and includes a board door, two horizontal sliding sashes with glazing bars beneath segmental arches, and a double board door to the former coach house. There are signs of blocked openings on the first floor. A central T-plan ridge stack is present.

The interior features good late 19th-century fireplaces, including one of carved grey marble, one with an Adam-style carved wood surround, and another with an Art Nouveau relief design. There is an open-well main staircase with turned balusters, and an early 19th-century back staircase featuring stick balusters and a corniced handrail. The kitchen retains an early 18th-century ovolo-moulded beam, and a boxed-in spine beam is found in the adjoining dining room.
