Description
The Manor House is a large house dating to the early 17th century, with substantial rebuilding around 1675 and an east wing added in the early 18th century. It was refenestrated in the early 19th century, with further additions made in the mid- and late-19th century. The house is constructed of brick, partly rendered and colourwashed, with a 20th-century plain tile roof. A chamfered dressed stone plinth runs along the base, and the gables are coped, with the south gable shaped. The east front features diaper work, and there are two side wall, single gable, and single grouped ridge stacks with four diagonal shafts.
The east front retains remnants of symmetrical round-headed openings. A blocked central doorway is flanked by two casements to the left and a door with a Gothick overlight to the right. Above, a small central casement is flanked by single larger casements. To the left, a mid-19th-century flat-roofed addition, now forming No. 2A, extends beyond a boundary wall. This section has a door to the left and a plain casement to the right, with a central casement above. The return angle to the south has three casements on each floor, mostly with rubbed brick heads. A mid-19th-century gabled dormer with a casement is situated above this. The double-gabled street front has bands on the first and second floors forming semi-circular and triangular window heads to the right. An off-centre casement is flanked to the left by two openings and to the right by a single blocked opening. Above are four blocked openings, and further above, a blocked oval central opening with an adjoining casement. Each gable is finished with a casement, the one to the left plain.
The west front has a late 20th-century single-storey addition to the left and a mid-19th-century wing to the right, with lean-to and flat-roofed additions beyond. A mid-19th-century canted hipped porch has two casements; above are three Gothick and a single plain casement. Otherwise, the west front has irregular 19th- and 20th-century fenestration.
Inside, the principal rooms feature chamfered span beams and fireplace bressummers. A re-used span beam is present in the east wing. There is an early 18th-century three-storey dogleg stair with landings; this contains square newels with vase and stem balusters, a moulded handrail, and intersecting strings. A secondary winder stair with octagonal newels is also present. The west wing has a double purlin roof with collars, while the south wing has a principal rafter roof. Several late 17th-century plank and panelled doors remain, two with chamfered surrounds with ogee stops. A number of 18th-century plank and panelled doors are also present. Early 19th-century hob grates with plain ashlar surrounds, and a late 18th-century moulded wood fire surround, are notable features.
Outside, a boundary wall with a doorway having a segmental head is situated to the east. Adjacent to this is an early 19th-century wash-house with a plain tile roof and a Gothick opening in the south gable, and a triangular louvred opening in the opposite gable.
