Description

The Manor House, originally the Rectory until the 20th century, largely dates to about 1818, although older fabric exists within. It is a two-storey building with attics, rendered in stucco. The west front, serving as the entrance, has four windows, with gables at each end containing small round windows or panels, and a modern dormer positioned centrally. The doorcase is off-centre, featuring pilasters, a cornice, and a rectangular fanlight above the door. The east front, overlooking the garden, is finished with Roman cement and has five windows, gables with round windows or panels, a string course, a Venetian window centrally on the first floor, and a curved bay of three windows on the ground floor. The roof is tiled, and the original glazing bars are largely intact throughout the building. A modern addition is present at the south end. Inside, a hall is notable for its Ionic columns.
