Description
The Manor is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in English bond, with a sandstone ashlar plinth and dressings, and a plain tile roof. A brick stack is centrally located. The house follows a T-shaped plan, with the main range running east-west and facing south, and a rear wing running north-south. Originally, crosswings may have flanked the main range. The building is two storeys with a gable-lit attic. It features a mix of 17th-century chamfered mullioned windows (one, two, or three lights) and late 18th-century sash windows with segmental heads and glazing bars.
On the south elevation, single-light windows from the 17th century are located on the ground floor towards the left and right of centre, and at the centre of the first floor. The remaining windows on this elevation date to the 18th century, with the first-floor window to the left replacing a previous mullioned window. A 20th-century bay window is situated on the ground floor to the left of centre, built in front of a 17th-century doorway with a segmental-headed, chamfered surround. A 20th-century half-glazed door is positioned to the right.
The north elevation shows the main house set back on either side of the central gabled wing. The wing has an 18th-century window centrally on the ground floor, along with 17th-century single-light windows on the ground floor to the left and right, and a three-light window to the first floor. On the right-hand side of the main house, there's an 18th-century first-floor window and a rhythm of 1:2:1 lights for the 17th-century ground floor windows. The left-hand side of the main house includes two 18th-century first-floor windows and 17th-century windows to the ground and first floors, to the right-hand side, of one and three lights respectively.
The east elevation displays the gable of the main house to the left, with the rear wing to the right. The gable features 17th-century three-light windows on the first and second floors, and a 20th-century casement on the ground floor set within a larger blocked opening with a segmental head. The rear wing has scattered 17th-century single-light windows, an 18th-century casement on the ground floor to the left, and a 20th-century casement on the first floor to the right. A 20th-century door with a bracketed and tiled canopy is on the right.
The west elevation shows the gable of the main house to the right, and the rear wing to the left. The gable has a 20th-century French casement on the ground floor, a 20th-century casement on the first floor, and a 17th-century three-light window in the attic. The rear wing contains 18th-century windows and a 20th-century casement on the ground floor to the right.
