Description

Manor Cottage is a cottage dated to around 1680, as indicated by a recessed panel on the ridge stack, although the exposed timber-frame at the rear may suggest it was built in the late 16th century. The structure is made of red brick and has a plain tile roof. The ridge stack and the stack on the right side have been reduced. It is two storeys tall and has a three-unit plan with a lobby entry. There is a plinth and a brick band between the floors. The entrance features a boarded door that is accessed by cemented steps. The cottage has three horizontal sliding sash windows on the ground floor and three on the first floor.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
