Description

Manor House, now a community centre, likely has origins from the 17th century, with extensions from the 18th century and a remodel around 1880. It features colourwashed brick and 19th-century dark red brick with stone dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The front elevation is two storeys with an attic and consists of a main part with a six-window range, mostly large-paned sashes. There is a small verandah supported by chamfered timber uprights on square stone bases, with curved timber brackets and a Welsh slate roof. The building has two dormers, and the right end is canted, featuring a door, window, and a dormer on the side elevation, which returns to the rear. The left side has a slightly recessed 19th-century frontage with three windows on both the ground and first floors, along with two dormers. Adjacent to this is a two-storey wing in painted brickwork from the 18th century (or possibly earlier), which has two sash windows under segmental arches on the first floor, and a small lean-to in painted brickwork with a single-pitched Welsh slate roof added to the front.

The west side elevation has two 18th-century sash windows on the first floor, with casements below. The roof is M-shaped, hipped, and Welsh slated, featuring a parapet on the front elevation. The rear elevation has two steeply-pitched gables, likely from the 17th century, and an 18th-century six-panel door to the left of centre. Most of the windows are 18th-century sashes with glazing bars, although there are some 20th-century replacements. There is a two-storey extension with a hipped roof on the right and a single-storey 18th-century wing on the left, along with some 20th-century additions. Inside, the building is mostly from the 19th century, but the single-storey rear wing retains some 18th-century fittings.
