Description

Manor House is a former farmhouse dating from the 17th century and later. It is built of brick in English bond with a plaintile roof over the main block. The building features a long main block with a 17th-century two-storey non-contemporary block at the rear, along with 19th-century extensions. It has two storeys and an attic, with a facade that shows extensively patched brickwork and irregularly placed fenestration, including six 19th-century three-light chamfered mullion and transom windows. There is one boarded door and one 19th-century panelled door with a simple moulded doorcase, along with a later dentil cornice. The house has three 19th-century gabled dormers with wavy barge boards and an off-centre axial stack. The gables feature crow-stepped designs and rectangular hood moulds over the gable windows. The rear wall includes a re-used five-light hollow chamfered mullion window. The rear block has a sawtooth cornice and a hipped roof, with a 19th-century canted bay on one side and a re-used window on the other side, which has an early metal casement with a spring catch. There are metal railings with spear terminals surrounding the rear yard. Inside, there is a winding stair beside the stack with original treads leading to the attic, plain chamfered bridging joists, and an original butt purlin roof.
