Description
The Manor House is a building that dates back to the 16th century, with alterations and additions made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick featuring dark headers arranged in a decorative diaper pattern, with a rendered front and a pantiled roof that has raised brick coped gables. The house has two large projecting brick wall stacks and one rendered gabled stack. Originally a larger house, it has been reduced in size and reoriented. The building has a parallel range plan, with a butt joint between the ranges indicating different construction phases.
The house is two storeys tall with a garret and has a two-bay entrance front made of lined stucco with a plinth. The entrance features an off-centre 20th-century panelled door with a plain overlight, and to the left, there is a single glazing bar sash window. On the first floor, there are two additional glazing bar sash windows located at the eaves. The side front is in red brick, with the lower two-thirds of the right-hand half displaying diaper decoration in over-burnt headers, and the plinth continues along this side. To the right of the right-hand chimney, there is a single 20th-century glazing bar casement window, and above it on the first floor, there is a blocked early two-light wooden window set in a moulded brick surround. To the left of the same stack at first floor level, there is a small plain casement window. On the left side of the left-hand stack, there is a blocked garret window. In front of the elevation, there is a single-storey 20th-century lean-to.
Inside, the roof of the front range features 16th-century wind bracing beneath a butt purlin construction. The main collar beam is chamfered and has a stepped moulded stop. There is a stone fireplace with a segmental head under a triangular head in the roof. The rear range has a similar roof, except for the end bay, which lacks wind bracing. The floors of the two ranges are at slightly different levels, further confirming the suggestion of different construction phases indicated by the butt joint on the exterior.
