Description
Manor House is a house dating from the early 17th century, although much of the upper part was rebuilt after a fire in 1959. It features timber-framed construction, primarily with colourwashed plaster infill, while parts of the ground floor of the cross-wings have been rebuilt in red brick. The roofs are covered with clay tiles, with the main block having a hipped roof. The house is designed in an H-plan and has two storeys, with 20th-century dormers on the roof of the rear elevation.
On the east elevation, there are five gabled sections, with the central one serving as a porch, and the second and fourth gables extending beyond the cross-wings. The windows are casements with leaded lights, comprising three on the ground floor and five on the first floor. The porch gable features a reset pargetting panel adorned with a thistle design. The cross-wings display ornamental curved brace decoration in the upper part, which appears to be mostly recent. The main block has a red brick double ridge stack with a pair of moulded octagonal shafts, while there is a red brick external stack, rebuilt in the 20th century, on the side wall of the left cross-wing. Additionally, there is a single-storey addition that adjoins to the north.
