Description

The Manor is a small country house dating to 1768, as indicated by a rainwater head. It was significantly altered in the early 19th century. The building has a rectangular plan, two storeys with attics and cellars. A single-storey addition was constructed to the east facade in the 19th century, along with a service wing to the north. Originally built of soft red brick, the west, south, and east facades were stuccoed in the 19th century, and a moulded stone cornice was added below the parapet. The north facade is painted. The low-pitched roofs are slated, and the continuous parapet is lead-lined with indented panels.

The west facade has five bays and a shallow round-headed recess above the central doorway. The doorway has a rusticated stone architrave with a round-headed arch flanked by two fluted pilasters, which have egg and dart moulding to the abacus and cornice. It is topped with a stone canopy. The doorway has double half-glazed doors and a plain round-headed fanlight. Five first-floor and four ground-floor 19th-century hung sash windows are present.

The south facade, with six bays, has similar windows. One bay's windows have been blocked, and a two-storey bay window has been added to the east. Two original lead rainwater pipes with crested decorations to their heads are present. The dated rainwater head has been moved and is now located on the south wall of the ground floor extension, facing east.

The east facade features a 19th-century open porch, a six-panelled door, and six hung sash windows within blind round-headed arches.

The interior largely dates to the 19th century, although some 18th-century window reveals remain. The hall floors are made of freestone with black marble sets.
