Description
The Manor House comprises houses, now divided into three separate dwellings. The central section dates to the late 17th century, with an extension added around 1730-40 to the rear. Further additions were made in 1875, forming the right-hand portion of the building. No. 1 is constructed of Flemish bond brick, with a late 17th-century chequer brick pattern to the front facade; it has a gabled Welsh slate roof and brick stacks with 1875 diagonally-set flues. The building follows a double-depth plan and is two stories high with an attic, presenting a symmetrical six-window facade with slightly projecting outer bays and stone coping to three Dutch gables. A Dutch-gabled porch of 1875 is centrally positioned. Gauged brick flat arches are above the horned, late 19th-century plate-glass sash windows. A one-bay extension from around 1840 on the left side features label moulds over three-light stone mullioned and transomed windows with a Dutch gable to the left. The mid-18th-century rear extension includes two two-story canted bays with mid-18th-century six-pane sashes and thick glazing bars. The interior has not been inspected, but is likely to be of interest. Nos. 1 and 2, constructed in 1875, are also of Flemish bond red brick with gabled slate roofs, brick stacks with diagonally-set flues. They are double-depth plan and two stories with a six-window range and Flemish gables to the front. The windows have square-headed, chamfered stucco architraves and C20 doors, paired with two-light ovolo-moulded cross windows with casements. The interior features a late 19th-century dog-leg staircase, panelled doors, enriched plaster cornices, and plain wood and marble fireplaces.
The central block of the original manor house dates to the late 17th century and was later extended in 1875. The building is two stories high with attics. The central block is constructed of red brick, with some grey headers, and floor bands of brick which are now covered with stucco. It has a slight central recession and almost flush sash windows in moulded frames, set under flat arches, arranged as a 2:2:2 pattern. There are three curvilinear gables, each containing a sash window. A central 19th-century porch mirrors the gable design. Welsh slate covers the roofs and the 19th-century wings are in keeping with the style of the central block. The west garden front incorporates two two-story canted bays. The interior includes an ornate, carved, marble chimneypiece within the central, west ground floor room.
