Description
The Old Manor House is a house dating from 1649, originally a pair of cottages. It is built of brick with a steep pitched pantile roof, featuring a brick plinth, a moulded brick band at the first floor, and coped gables topped with stone ball finials. The house has two storeys plus garrets and two ridge stacks, with three windows on the front elevation.
The central window is a three-light leaded casement with a wooden lintel and a triangular moulded brick pediment that includes a date plaque from 1649. To the east of this window is a 20th-century door with a timber lintel, followed by a 19th-century two-light Yorkshire sash window with a segmental head, and a blocked four-centred arched opening. To the west, there is a 19th-century three-light leaded casement with a timber lintel, followed by a 20th-century close boarded door.
Above the central window, there is a two-light leaded casement flanked by single 19th-century Yorkshire sashes, all with timber lintels. The west gable features a chamfered and rebated brick opening containing a three-light leaded casement with brick mullions, and above this is a 20th-century casement with a moulded brick hood mould. There is a blank brick plaque at the peak of the gable.
