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.
