The Manor With Attached Outbuildings

The Manor with attached outbuildings is a large house that was formerly a rectory, built around 1820-1830 for Reverend W.C. Steggall. It is constructed of white brick and features a shallow hipped slate roof. The main block is two stories high with three bays across the front and two bays on the sides. There is a central entrance with steps leading up to large double doors from the late 19th century, which are architraved and have margin glazing with leaded panes. The entrance is framed by a timber Roman Doric portico that is correctly detailed. The windows are recessed 12-pane glazing bar sashes with stone sills and gauged brick flat arched heads, with the first-floor windows being taller. The side returns also have two bays of similar sashes, although the first-floor window on the front left has been replaced in the 20th century. At the rear, there are scattered sashes with cambered heads. The building has an offset plinth and boxed eaves, with two white brick stacks on the return slopes. The roof has twin hips at the rear with a central valley.

Inside, there is an original swept dogleg staircase featuring turned newels, slat balusters, and a ramped, moulded, and wreathed handrail, along with cheekpieces and a dado. There is also a service stair that has a ramped handrail. Some original simple cornices and architraved doors remain.

Attached to the rear left is a slightly lower two-bay, two-story service wing with a cross entry towards the main block. The outer face of this wing has a six-panelled door below a three-over-six pane sash, along with a two-story scullery outshut that features a small three-light casement with a cambered head and a hipped roof at the front. To the rear right, there is a low range of lean-to sheds behind a garden wall, which connects to a coach house and stable block that is positioned at right angles to enclose the third side of the service yard. This block is made of clay lump and timber frame, has a hipped slate roof, and consists of five bays and two stories. The front is rendered and features central double doors, flanking architraved entrances, and outer lunette windows, with red brick returns.
