Description
Manor House is a house built around 1840, constructed of gault brick with a slate roof. It has two storeys and features three bays on its south front, which is symmetrical. The central entrance consists of a half-glazed door that is sheltered by a flat hood supported by brackets, all set within a fluted case. On the ground floor, there are two sash windows, and on the first floor, there are three sash windows, all of which have glazing bars. The lower windows are also topped with flat hoods on brackets. The building has paired corner pilasters beneath a plain frieze, and there are two single pilasters that define the central bay beneath a pediment. The roof is hipped and features two symmetrical stacks. The west front is similar in design but does not have a pediment.
