The Manor House

The Manor House is an early 19th-century farmhouse constructed of buff brick in a Flemish bond pattern on the front (south) elevation and red brick in a Flemish bond pattern on the sides and rear. It has a slate roof. The building is planned with a single-depth front section and a double-depth rear section. The front section is two storeys high, standing on a minimal brick plinth and featuring a modillioned eaves cornice. The roof is hipped. Buff brick stacks are located to the right and left of the rear elevation. Giant brick pilasters with moulded caps clasp the corners of the front elevation, and a central break features a modillioned triangular pediment. The front facade has a regular three-window arrangement of recessed twelve-pane sashes with thin glazing bars and no horns, with splayed rubbed brick voussoirs above. Venetian shutters are present on the ground-floor windows. A central half-glazed and panelled door, raised two steps, leads to a rectangular fanlight with radiating glazing bars, all sheltered by a doorcase of engaged Doric columns supporting a plain entablature with a moulded cornice. The east and west return elevations have a modillioned eaves cornice which extends to the rear. Giant red brick pilasters are located on the north end of each elevation, and do not clasp the corners. Each return elevation has a single sash window per floor, mirroring the style of the front. The rear section is two storeys high, but lower than the front section, and is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond pattern with a slate roof. It incorporates casement windows, and on the west side, a four-centred arch gothic window alongside sashes with glazing bars. The interior is understood to contain a central circular hall with a cantilevered staircase, although this has not been inspected.
