Description

The Manor House is a house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with 19th-century alterations to the facade. It has a plan featuring a hall range with crosswings, primarily constructed of narrow local brick in English bond. The building has 19th-century slate roofs with repaired parapetted gables, stone coping, and ball finials. There are two notable original projecting side stacks: one on the west crosswing and another at the rear of the hall range, both featuring two octagonal shafts with rubbed brick strings. The east crosswing has tumbling to the rear gable end and a side stack with two diagonally set shafts.

The house is two storeys high, with attics in the crosswings and bands between the storeys. Each gable end has one elliptical window in the attic storey, two cross frame casements, and a bay window at the ground floor. The hall range also has two storeys, with three similar casements and an off-centre doorway that features an early 19th-century radial fanlight in a round-headed arch, likely marking the original entry to the through passage. Inside, the floor framing is exposed in the hall and crosswings, showcasing unmoulded joists laid flat and substantial main beams. There is some heraldic stained glass in a window in the east crosswing, probably from the 19th or 20th century, which refers to the Wood family.
