Description
Manor House is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and later. It has two storeys and a half-H shape, with extensions at the rear. The building is timber-framed and rendered, while the rear extension is made of colour-washed kidney-flint. It features slate roofs, with the rear slope having a very shallow pitch. There are two internal chimney stacks with white brick shafts. The house has a six-window range, arranged as 1:4:1, with small-paned sashes set in wide flush frames. The high entrance door is off-centre and has six raised fielded panels along with a large rectangular traceried fanlight above. The door is framed by a panelled architrave that has a lozenge ornament at each corner.
The left-hand cross-wing is wider than the right and includes 19th-century mock timbering in the gable apex, fluted bargeboards, and three hanging finials. Side purlins project from the face of the right-hand gable. At the rear, a 17th-century wing features plain joists set on edge and an upper fireplace with an arched brick surround that is rendered and moulded.
