Description
Manor Cottage is a cottage that possibly dates back to the 17th century, with alterations made in the late 17th century. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure, with painted brick casing and 17th-century red brick. The roof is thatched and has a half hip on the south side, along with a gault brick chimney stack. There is a pantiled roof on the lean-to extension to the right. The cottage is two storeys high and has a two-unit plan, with a 19th-century lean-to on the right side. The gable has a parapet and a corbelled chimney stack, along with moulded kneelers and a dentil brick band that has been partly rebuilt. The entrance is through a boarded door located to the right of centre, and there are two horizontal sliding sash windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor.
