Description
Manor Cottage is a house that was originally a range of three, built in 1845 for A.E. Powell, the rector from 1843 to 1892. The date is inscribed as 'EP AD 1845' on a stone plaque above the central door. The building is constructed of clay bat and roughcast rendered, with pantile roofs that have replaced the original thatch. It has one storey and an attic, featuring a symmetrical facade with two gabled bays. There are two rear gault brick stacks and two ridge stacks, each with diagonal shafts. The cottage includes two attic windows, two dormer windows, and six ground floor casement windows with drip moulds. The central door is a 20th-century boarded door with a four-centred arch.
