Description
The Manor House and attached garden wall date from the late 17th and early 18th century, with extensions added in the 18th and late 19th centuries. It is constructed of brick, with a mathematical tile side range, a brick gable, lateral stacks, and a tiled roof. The building has a roughly L-shaped plan, with an 18th-century north extension and a late 19th-century south extension.
The road front has three windows and exhibits a complex mix of building styles. The Flemish bond brickwork includes a moulded plat band, a boarded front door, and rubbed brick flat arches over 8/8-pane sash windows in flush frames. A late 19th-century section on the right has paired gables with raised kneelers, central blind windows on both floors, brick coping, a 6/6-pane attic sash with a flush frame, and a large external stack partly enclosed by the extension. The rear wing has a straight joint in the header bond rear gable, which features a stack and brick coping. The bond continues upwards to the straight joint, from which Flemish bond extends to the front range. A further section is set forward at the north end; this is of 18th-century header bond with two ground-floor windows and a lateral stack. A canted oriel window is in the left-hand return, with 8/8-pane and flanking 4/4-pane sashes. The rear has a gabled dormer with an 8/8-pane sash. The interior of the building was not inspected.
Attached to the north is a brick garden wall approximately 100 metres long, with a coped top and battered buttresses in its northern section.
The Manor House was formerly the farmhouse associated with other listed farm buildings, including the notable 15th-century Twydall Barn, with which it shares group value.
