Description
The Manor House is a house dating from the early to mid 18th century, with later additions and alterations from the late 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of red brick and features a plain tiled roof with raised verges supported by kneelers. The building has three storeys, a brick plinth, and floor bands, presenting a three-bay entrance front with a central doorway. The windows are slightly recessed glazing bar sash windows, with reduced proportions on the second floor. The entrance includes a six-panelled door topped by a rectangular overlight.
A Tuscan portico with detached columns and pilasters, along with a remade open pediment and fragmentary entablature, enhances the entrance. The house also has a plastered moulded eaves cornice and four projecting brick end stacks. At the rear, there is a later 18th-century red brick range that is now connected to the main house by a 19th-century flat-roofed extension. Inside, the left-hand ground floor room features decorative plasterwork on the ceiling from the 18th century. The front of the house is enclosed by 19th-century cast-iron railings and gate posts.
