Description

The Manor House, later adapted for use as an Old People’s Home, was built around 1740 with later additions and alterations in the 1820s. It is constructed of brick, with stucco facing, and has a hipped slate roof. Ashlar dressings are present, including a plinth, moulded eaves, a pediment, and a parapet. There are seven ridge stacks and two gable stacks. The house has a square plan with a rear wing added later.

The east front features a projecting, pedimented central bay with a flat-roofed, parapeted porch. The porch has double pilasters and a dentil cornice; it contains double doors. To the left of the porch is a blocked opening flanked by two sash windows. Above these, on the first floor, are two sashes flanked by single blocked openings. The rear wing to the east has two 19th-century casement windows on the ground floor, and two sashes above.

The south front incorporates the rear wing and two small brick lean-to additions. A doorway with an elliptical head is on the left, adjacent to two casements and two sashes. To the right is a 20th-century door with a round-headed tile surround and fanlight, alongside a sash window. Upstairs, there are four casements to the left and four sashes to the right. The north front has five full-height sash windows, with blind boxes; above these, five smaller, similar sashes are present, the central one being a dummy.

A late 19th-century ashlar loggia is on the north-west return angle, featuring two square piers and two round piers, a cornice, and a parapet. Below the loggia is a French window flanked to the left by a single window and to the right by two full-height sashes. Above, a door with an overlight is to the left, and to the right, a sash and a French window. The north return angle has late 19th-century fenestration, with a bell on a bracket above.

The interior retains Adam style details, including a curved winder stair with a scrolled handrail. The drawing room has full-height panelling with moulded margins, while the library features full-height plaster panelling with fasces borders and rebated corners. There are two simple Adam-style fireplaces, one a plain ashlar design, and the other a Classical marble fireplace with pilasters, paterae, and urns.

The brick boundary wall to the west, which is approximately 75 meters long, has plain slab coping and a segmental-headed gateway with an ornate 19th-century wrought iron gate. A brick boundary wall to the south, in an L-shape and approximately 100 meters long, has slab coping. It includes a plank door with a segmental head to the east.
