Description

The Manor House, which includes an attached service range to the east, is a building dating from around 1740 with later extensions. It is constructed of red brick with rendered dressings and features both slate and pantiled roofs.

The west front is two storeys high with a dormer attic and consists of a seven-window range. It has rendered rusticated quoins and a central set of 20th-century double glazed doors beneath a pediment supported by scrolled consoles. Flanking the doors are tall fixed windows with glazing bars that light the central hall. Beyond these, there are two 2/2 unhorned sash windows on each side, all set under gauged skewback arches. The central window on the first floor is blind, while the two left-hand windows are 20th-century casements; the remainder are sashes as previously described. A brick modillion eaves cornice runs along the roof, which is hipped and features a segment-headed dormer fitted with a 3/3 horned sash window. There are two ridge stacks.

To the south, there is an early 19th-century two-storey extension with a two-window range, which includes tall French doors on the ground floor and sashes on the upper floor that lead to a wrought-iron balcony. This extension has a hipped roof with one stack on the east and west wall planes. A two-storey extension to the east, built in the 1930s, is also present.

At the rear, there is a service range from the late 19th century, which is two storeys high and has a six-window range, constructed of red brick with a slate hipped roof. The fenestration consists of 2/2 unhorned sashes, and there is a ridge stack. Further east, a two-storey stable range extends, made of flint and red brick with a pantiled roof, featuring two 20th-century garage doors and mixed fenestration, topped with a gabled roof.

Inside, the hall features a screen of two Roman Doric columns and pilasters. There is a late 19th-century staircase with a cast-iron balustrade and a raised oval roof light supported on consoles. The two principal ground-floor rooms are adorned with complete large-framed panelling and moulded cornices, with a shell cupboard in the south room. The two principal bedrooms above have associated dressing rooms, and there is partial large-framed panelling in the north pair of rooms and on the upper landing of the staircase. The south pair of rooms have complete large-framed fielded panelling, and the 19th-century roof includes principals, collars, and one tier of windbraces.
