Description
Manor House, built between 1773 and 1776 for Charles Aistroppe, with minor alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in both English and Flemish bonds, with a hipped roof covered in triple Roman tiles and three brick ridge stacks. The building is arranged in an L-shape. It features dentilated eaves and is two storeys high.
The south front has three bays, with a central doorway framed by a moulded surround of Coade stone, incorporating scroll brackets supporting a flat hood. Flanking the doorway are triple sash windows with a blind round arch above the central window, and a brick cill band runs beneath them. Above, a central Diocletian window is flanked by single triple windows, all with glazing bars. The east front has five bays, featuring a central fixed glazing bar window. To the left is a pair of glazed double doors with side lights and an overlight, followed by a plain sash window; to the right, there's a cross casement with glazing bars and a blind window. The upper floor mirrors this arrangement, with a central sliding sash flanked by casements, another sliding sash, and a blind window. The north front, with a single bay, features an inserted door to the left and a single casement to the right, with another sliding sash above. The west front of a rear wing has three bays, with a central glazed doorway, a four-panel door to the left, and a part-glazed panel door to the right. Above are a central Diocletian window flanked by single glazing bar windows. The north front of the main block incorporates a couple of casements, with another casement above. The western front of the main block presents a single glazed doorway with a Diocletian window above, and single casements set back to the left.
The interior is almost entirely original. The main staircase has two turned balusters per tread and a ramped hand rail. A round-headed archway with a keystone is also present. Both main rooms on each floor retain original wooden fire surrounds, dado panelling, shutters, and window and door surrounds. The study retains a fire surround and dado panelling, with a surviving bolection moulded fireplace in a room above. The kitchen has exposed beams and a large inglenook, with original back stairs leading off. All doors and doorways remain in situ. The house possesses an exceptionally complete interior.
