Description
Manor House is a former farmhouse dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with some 19th century alterations. It is built of Flemish bond brick and features string courses, brick rusticated alternating quoins, and a dentil cornice. The roof is an old plain-tile hipped design with two 19th century brick ridge stacks. The building has a U-plan layout with wings at the rear and stands three storeys high with a five-window range.
The symmetrical front includes a 19th or 20th century seven-panelled door, which is topped by a plain-tile hipped hood supported by simple brackets. The flanking windows on the ground floor are sashes with painted rendered lintels. The first floor features 19th century cross windows and a central three-light window with top lights, all having horizontal glazing bars and brick flat arches. The low second floor has two-light cross-glazed casements located just above the string course, corresponding to the second, third, and fourth bays. The right return side displays three blocked two-light stone mullioned basement windows. The rear of the house has three half-hipped gables.
Inside, the hall features an open fireplace with a moulded cornice and an ogee stop-chamfered ceiling beam, along with panelled doors.
