The Manor House

House dating from the early 18th century, built on a late 16th-century core. The building is constructed of brick with black glazed pantiles covering a shallow pitched hipped roof. It is of double-depth plan with 3 bays and 2 storeys.

The main west-facing facade is symmetrical, featuring a brick plinth with rusticated quoins and window surrounds. Platbands run above and below the first-floor windows. A lower, 2-storey projecting porch with hipped roof and rusticated quoins projects forward from the centre, with its opening flanked by stone square fluted columns having Corinthian capitals. The flutes on all three sides are decorated with chevrons of sprays of flowers and buds. Above the columns sits a plain wooden entablature, and above this is a stone achievement of Newman between two large outward-facing lionesses couchant. Flush sashes with glazing bars and moulded frames sit under flat skew back arches—two to the ground floor and one to the first floor on each side of the porch. The ground floor has blank half-width windows either side of the porch, while the first floor has half-width windows in the same positions. A drainhead inscribed HG/1(7)24 marks the left angle where the porch meets the front facade.

The south front has 3 bays arranged asymmetrically beneath a hipped roof, with rusticated quoins. Windows and surrounds to bays 1 and 3 match those of the west facade, with a widening platband beneath the windows. A narrow sash with glazing bars occupies the centre bay at first-floor level. A stone doorway with 3 glazed upper lights sits in the central bay, with an axial stack rising above it.

The rear elevation combines coursed flint and brick mosaic with brick dressings and eaves courses. Bays 1 and 3 project forward, each with a hipped roof. Bay 1 is slightly stepped below the platband and contains flush sashes with glazing bars—two to the ground floor and one, reduced in height, to the first floor. The centre bay houses the staircase with scattered fenestration: 2 cross windows with leaded panes and original fittings, and two 2-light casements below with pintle hinges under segmental arches.

The north front facade encases and replaces an earlier single range of 2 storeys and an attic. It comprises 3 bays: the right section is 2 storeys, the left is 3 storeys. Both have rusticated quoins and some window surrounds, with a platband running across. An off-centre doorway to the right has 8 raised and fielded panels beneath a pedimented canopy, with an axial stack above. Above the doorway is a narrow flush sash with glazing bars and moulded case. The right bay contains flush sashes with glazing bars and moulded cases to ground and first-floor levels, with the ground-floor surround breaking forward. The left-hand bay features rusticated surrounds to former first-floor openings and scattered fenestration of casements, some of which have been renewed.

The interior contains large enclosed stacks positioned behind the doors on the north and south fronts. The hall features painted 18th-century panelling. An openwell broad open string staircase occupies the rear of the centre bay, with twisted balusters, a carved frieze to the handrail, brackets to the treads, and a wide string below with carved and panelled dado. Oak panelling lines the rear room of the third bay on the ground floor. Raised and fielded panelling appears on the landing and in the porch room. An ogee stopped chamfered beam runs across the first-floor centre bay front room. Twisted balusters form the stair in the first bay leading to the second floor and roof spaces. The second floor has timber-studded partitions. A king post roof of separate construction crowns the building above large close ceiling joists and ties from the earlier range at the north-west corner.

A single-storey additional range stands to the north-east of no special interest.
