Description
Manor House is a house located on a moated site, dated 1787, with some possibly earlier work inside and at the rear. It is constructed of red brick and features a Swithland slate roof with brick end stacks. The building has three storeys and includes a stuccoed plinth, rusticated quoins, and sill-bands on the first and second floors, topped with a modillion cornice leading to a low parapet. The front has a regular three-window arrangement with glazing bar sashes in open boxes. The ground and first-floor windows have gauged segmental heads in the outer bays, with the gauging rising from horizontal at either side, and chamfered hoods decorated with anthemion in the frieze. The central window on the second floor is slightly narrower and features an architrave surround with a fluted frieze and a shallow entablature hood above. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door set in round-arched reveals, accompanied by a fanlight and Doric half columns that support a triangular pediment above a fluted frieze decorated with patera. The left-hand return front is marked with the date RN/1787 in brick. Inside, there is a three-flight square open well staircase with stick balusters, square newel posts, and a closed string, rising through two storeys.
